I'm still confused over what they might be. Still hoping for the answer.

Many less honest suppliers "dye" corals and anemones to make them more attractive. They usually survive long enough to not cause concern about the "dye" because they have such a poor survival rate in captivity anyway that nobody notices if one dies sooner than "normal".
