I thought it was bleached too,at first...but I'm pretty sure it's cream colored...you can still see the tentacles all have little blue dots at the tips...base is a lavender...almost like a washed out purple...it's super healthy...eats every day...stands tall and is loving the light !.....so I think I scored a good one...Have lost many over a 30 yr period (before we knew about antibiotic treatment)..
