Are all CSB anemones created equal?

Where do you guys find the best looking CSB anemones? Are they all the same? What should I watch out for? I'm looking to get one for the WB 25g.

Not to try to derail, but recently was working with one of my regular customers who got a CSB or some other rainbow morph of bubble tip, said it lost most of its unique color in his tank. I imagine that can happen with any anemone, just something I figure it's good to be aware of.

I assumed it had something to do with the ratio of white/blue light or possibly trace elements like iodine.

They are so many variations of even CSB in itself, and like what was said their color can change depending on environment

This is what I was imagining. Are there any that are particularly better quality than others? What are the best sources?

I think rather than general CSB you should get them from a breeding line, for example sang lee

By "breeding line" you mean established lineage, right? Are there some good ones to look for?

I wish I could help more lol all I know of is the sang lee lineage , I just keep rainbows mostly

It's about lineage. That lineage is more about making sure you are getting a legit specimen. Like my CSB and Supernova can look very similar and I'm sure just need off of defining characteristics people have passed one off as the other.
