I was watching videos to get stocking ideas on my tank and I came across an absolutely beautiful coral/anemone. Anyone know what it is? It appears in this video around the 1:50 mark. It appears to glow a bluish/purple hue. Thanks!

..probably some strong actinic lighting on that system to get it to glow.

Oh, so that means that it's sick/dying, correct? Darn. I was hoping there was something out there that naturally looks like that. Thanks!

Some experienced reefers have been able to nurse bleached anemones back to health but it's pretty difficult.
