Per your request, I agree that is normal coloration for some bta's(Bubble Tip Anemone) Popular/Common names are chosen and changed at will by sellers just to make the sale. Whether green, rose colored, or a brownish blue with yellow stripes, we have come to call them BTA's for one obvious reason.  The scientific name is Entacmaea quadricolor. That will never change.

I watched the video that you told me about for splitting an anenome. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=C5tDIoLROyA Is this the one? I thought if they get a rip or an opening in thier tissue they die. But this works eh?

 Just a few of hundreds of Rose Bubble Tip Anemone clones. They can be cut in half or allowed to clone themselves.

Not a sunburst IMO. Just a RBTA. Sunbursts are amazingly bright orange kind of colored with yellowish tips.
