I went by a LFS today and saw a tiny very red anemone. It was about 2" across fully open, probably in proportion tentacle wise with a sebae, and the entire thing was blood red. I can't remember the name of it because it was one I had never heard of, it started with a 'w' and was wondering if there was a rare anemone that I had just never heard of before or do you think this could have been artificially died and given a 'designer' name? I don't have a picture and I can't find anything like it online which made me suspicious..

perhaps actinia bermudensis?
sometimes called the maroon anemone

thought of another one might be cladactella manni, the hawaiian blood anemone, little more common in the hobby
