I actually unknowingly bought an anemone once that I believe someone had soaked in food coloring to alter its look.
anemone's were one of the coral's that was mentioned in the article, sadly most coral dies very soon afterwards. Hope yours made it.

And nothing against Asia, but it always seems that 99% of all these trends seems to start there, maybe the UN needs to start giving them a little heat on animal cruelty...but wont happen. Infact I believe custom colored babies are suppose to be all the rage come next fall, can I get a blue with pink spots one....
