Default purple long tip anemone

Just wondering what peoples expirences were with purple long tip anemones and also wondering if they keep their nice purple colour of if they fade and look more brownish after awhile.

I have a maroon clownfish and I was thinking about one of these types of anemones for it to host in.

Default my clowns love my purple LT

I've had mine for about 8 months and it likes to move around in it's corner of the tank every couple of months and then ends up back in the same spot. It also is a dark purple when it's small, and when it's big it's about the size of a sandwich plate and goes to a lite purple/tan color. I have three clowns hosting it.

I had the most beautiful purple lta - I had him for just over a year and he stayed really purple. I unfortunatley lost him in a tank move

Beautiful anemone, sorry to hear you lost it

That is what I'm hoping to find, and hoping the one I get stays as nice and purple as your did, doesn't look as pretty if it's all faded and tan, any tricks to getting them to stay more purple looking then tan?
