Answer 2

While the actual answer is probably a sebae anemone, my gut instinct is to say it is a doomed anemone. If I am right, then that specimen is in big trouble. Most clownfish hosting anemones (note the fish in the picture is a damsel, but they will hang out in host anemones as well) are photosynthetic. The animal cells in the anemone contain a symbiotic algae that the anemone uses to obtain a large portion of its nutrients. Without the algae, the animal will NOT survive. An anemone which is that white has lost the algae within its cells and is doomed to death in any aquarium environment.

Not sure why you are asking the question but a few notes on anemones in case you are thinking of purchasing an anemone. First, host anemones, even with the symbiotic algae still intact, require a LOT of light to survive. You need a high quality reef lighting system to have any chance of success. Even with that, many species do poorly in captivity even in the hands of the most experienced and knowledgable aquarists. Sebaes are notoriously hard to keep alive. Carpet anemones are also very difficult. Best bets are the long tentacle and bubble tip anemones. And even with those, water conditions have to be darn near perfect all the time.

In short, anemones are among the most difficult of animals to keep alive and, despite what many petshop owners will tell you (many of whom will not tell you so when they have no idea what they are talking about) anemones are NOT easy to keep nor are they for beginners. Even advanced aquarists think twice before dooming one of these amazing creatures to death in captivity.
