Anemone species variants & hardiness

[Iona Skye]

Does anyone have any observations about the general hardiness of the different color variations of bubble tip anemones?

My experience in freshwater fish & esp. neocardina shrimp has informed me that in general, the rarer the color variant, the more sensitive the animal.

Is this true for BTAs?

Following along. I haven't heard of any differences in hardiness between color variations, but then again I'm no expert.

Not that I'm aware of. The rose and green morphs are both common in the wild and they're simply phenotypes (just color variations). I think the difficulty of care will come from where the anemone was sourced. If it comes from the wild you have chance for it to not acclimate of have parasites. "Captive-bred" nems usually fare better but then again if they're in a tank with multiple LED spotlights and get moved to a T5 tank, you'll probably see some difficulties as well
