    Plain white bubble tip. Not sure if it will develop some colour with good lighting with time ?

    i might be wrong but it looks that this anemone has bleached itself, this will happen when corals are stressed out. It is not a death sentence, but something you may want to correct.

    all the best,

    Your anemone should never be white. The white indicates the anemone has lost all the zooxanthellae; the symbiotic algae that allows it to produce energy through photosynthesis. The bleaching (turning white) is usually an indication of poor health or water conditions. If your water chemistry is good and you haven't had any major heat swings, it could be due to either insufficient lighting or light-shock (too much light, too fast). What LEDs are you running and over what sized tank?

    Step uo the feeding for the next while (couple times a week) and hopefully the colour will come back.

    yeah, that is a bleached bubble tip. The bleaching is very serious and I am not sure it can recover. Where did you buy it from? No store should sell you a bleached anemone like that.
    if you can't return it. Try to feed it meaty food. If it takes food, there is a slight hope.
    What kind of lighting and what size tank?

    Could you put it in some one else's tank so the anemone could RE-SEED it self with the symbiotic algae ?

    Do what juicebox says, feed it. If it will accept food, mysis and what I have used, fish eggs. very nutritious.
