After working on my own tank for several hours (hanging up my new LED lights) I finally got a chance to head down to Nebraska Aquatic Supply and take a look at the shipment they got from Japan. As you can see from the photo above these anemones have an amazing yellow color; one that I haven't seen before. The above photo was taken with out flash and hasn't been edited in anyway. Here's another shot with out flash and a couple with flash for comparison:
And now with flash:
As far as care for these I'm not positive. I believe they require a cooler tank, somewhere in the range of 73 degrees. If anyone knows more about them and their proper care please feel free to post a comment!

I am sure they are not dyed, I know the collector personally. Here is what Reefbiulders said about them.
Halcurias carlgreni is an amazingly bright neon yellow green anemone from the deeper cool waters of Japan. If you have a typical reef tank the Halcurias anemone is definitely not for you but if this kind of creature is interesting to you, a grouping of these together with some Cerianthus anemones would make an awesome flowery display. A meat-eating-fluorescent-flower kind of display which would look somewhat like Glofish except that these are natural and they would eat glofish danios if given the chance. We look forward to seeing the Halcurias anemones available for sale
Any chance that these anemones have been dyed? I have read quite a few times about really bright colored anemones being dyed. Just wondering.

I dont believe them to be radioactive
Wouldn't happen to be from Fukushima Nuclear Plant would they?
Trippy color for sure... actinics lighting would totally POP them.
