I bought this bta and it was labeled as a rose but it looks more like a morph of some sort to me. It definitely doesn't look like the RBTA that's in my 230g tank. According to google pic's it's similar to a lemon drop or a rainbow. Not as yellow as some lemon drops look but not as pink as some rainbows look, mine is somewhat in the middle. It has a very bright green/white speckled base and a mostly orange with a slight pink hue tip.

This is the best closest to the actual colour pic I got

Could it be a morph of some sort or am I out to lunch?

I have n identical nem that I bought under the flag RBTA but I also am curious as to the real name.
I know this doesn't answer your question but I thought I would jump on board lol.
Did you buy this at red coral?

IMO mine looks like a mix of this rainbow anemone

and this lemon drop anemone

It's kinda close (only mine as a brighter green/white speckled base) to the pic below that someone a reef central said was their lemon drop anemone

I would say if anything it looks alot closer and share the same colours as the rainbow you posted, you halide is quite blue probally washing out some of the pinks that differentiates yours to the rainbow posted. If it was under 10k it would probally look alot more similar to the rainbow....

Sorry I should of said what lights it's under. It's in my nano tank under ecoxotic ecopico strip LED lights two 12,000K white and one 453nm blue. I plan on adding two more strips but I'm still waiting for them to come in. The bta is fairly small right now about 2" diameter.

Nope! It's a RTBA in a Halloween costume
