📜 Backstory
Listed as 'Green Tip Ritteri Anemone - Purple Base' by Blue Zoo Aquatics. It is a wild-collected natural color form; the green-on-purple combination is noted in the trade as less common than the standard purple-tip. Origin is the wild Indo-Pacific import stream rather than any named breeder line.
Keeper tips for this variant
Acclimate light slowly over weeks; the green and purple pigments hold best under strong photosynthetically-active reef LEDs or T5 once the animal has settled and stopped wandering.
