I think it's your actinic or at least your bluer halides, Greg. Anemones tend to look wicked cool with actinics.

I must say though, that this is a particularly pretty morph that you have, which of course helps too, since some individuals have more (and different) pigmentation than others.

Redrover, it's a Entacmaea quadricolor or "BTA" (bubble-tip anemone). Note that the common name implies that they always have bubble-tipped tentacles, which in captivity in particular is not always the case. The typical scenario is that they have them for a year or so and then become elongated from there on. But sometimes a lighting change will trigger the bubbles to come back, or sometimes they just come and go on their own. It's not really known why or how the changes happen.
