Stopped by on my way home from a vacation with my wife. My wife saw a anemone and fell in love with it. I asked all the usual questions before purchasing the anemone and was told it would do fine in my tank. After getting it home and acclimating it, I read up a little more on them and found out the the anemone had been artificially dyed using food coloring!! This is a practice done to sell otherwise cheap ugly anemones for triple or more the price since instead of being brown they are a very vibrant yellow! It has now been two days and it is already starting to die! The food coloring destroys the anemones ability to soak in the light from your reef lighting so it just dies, just like grass would if you left a board on top of it for a week. Thank you for stealing my $50. David
