Thanks so much for the info. The underside of mine is almost identical to the pic you provided. I was noticing all the cool stripes yesterday.
The anemone is not blue, I wish it were. It's more of a brown/green. It's already opened up a fair bit since acclimation. I fed it yesterday and it took the food immediately and did not puke it back up. The mouth looks good, it's not open or drooping so that is a good sign from what I have read.
I have always wanted a nice carpet anemone but I really like my bubble tip too. Should I be concerned? There does not appear to be any warfare at this time, both anemones seem fine. From what I have read pulsing xenias can be a good indicator of chemical warfare taking place and mine are all opening nicely and pulsing just as they did prior to adding the carpet anemone so hopefully everything is okay.
