Flame tip vs colorado sunburst

[Reefing newbie]

Hey guys I am looking to purchase one or the other. I was curious which one looks better? I've been trying to read a lot of different threads and look at pictures but I am having a hard time deciding. I've seen a Colorado sunburst in person but not a flame tip. Thank you ahead of time for any responses. I appreciate any and all help on this question.

One is more yellow the other is more orange. Hard to say what is better personal choice I bought both

I agree haha which is why I ended up asking. I am sorry to bother you on this but do you happen to have a side by side picture by any chance? Definitely wish I could afford both right now though haha but but a little too much.

I used a couple of google images to knock up a quick side by side for you. Hope this helps!

Thank you! I really need to learn how to do that. Is the flametip color really that big of a difference in red than a sunburst?

Where do you even buy anemones like these from?

Where do you even buy anemones like these from?

online vendors sometimes have these in stock although the only one I could find at the moment was coral collection. I read mixed reviews about him and his anemones. Also look in the buying live stock section. People sell them from time to time. The only issue is the cost. I've seen the prices from around 400 without shipping at the cheapest to 600 without shipping. The CSB I saw in person looked really bright and beautiful though. If you're still interested send me a pm and I will tell you two different people who are selling one of each currently.

Also among a few online vendors I found that have sold some in the past or may sell again are BSA, Sexy corals, cherry corals ( I talked to Todd on the phone and he said he is currently waiting for his CSB to split), and a few more but I cant remember their names off the top of my head.

Why just Colorado Sunburst or Flame Tip? What about Inferno, Lemon Drop, Lemonburst, California Sunburst?

Why just Colorado Sunburst or Flame Tip? What about Inferno, Lemon Drop, Lemonburst, California Sunburst?

Good question. I really have been debating about the lemonburst as well because it also is very beautiful and I like the fact it can change colors depending on the type of lighting I use. Currently using led right now. I found someone who said they were selling a lemon drop but it was a little bit out of my price range unfortunately. Would love to pick one up though. I am not a sure how I feel about the inferno. Its very nice looking, don't get me wrong, I just am not a fan of the darker red and not having seen it person I keep thinking more of a regular red tip even though I know its supposed to be very bright. I was offered a california sunburst, I just couldn't find any further information on this type so that's why I didn't have it on my list. If you can offer more insight on this though, I would love to learn more.
