First of all how did you acclimate it?
Second what are you paramiters including ph, temp, alk, cal.?
third - what type of anemone are we talking about ? Could it be a substrate loving anemone?
forth- what type of lighting do you have?
fifth - you know white means its not healthy right?

If you see a white Anemone then steer clear, white anemonies have suffered bleaching and are likely unhealthy.
What is anemone ‘bleaching’?
All healthy anemones have a population of zooxanthellae in their body tissues that helps provide nutrients to the host anemone. This algae population is brown in color, and all healthy anemones will have an underlying color tone of light to dark brown depending upon the intensity of lighting under which they are kept, and the size of their zooxanthellae population. In cases of stress or poor water conditions, the zooxanthellae population in an anemone can die or be expelled. This condition is called “bleaching” since a healthy, dark colored anemone can become light and pale overnight. Bleached anemones are white or translucent in color, and lack the noticeable brown undercoloring of healthy anemones. The lack of zooxanthellae puts an anemone at significant health risk, since it no longer has a substantial source of nutrients. However, even badly stressed and bleached anemones can recover if placed in a stable, healthy environment. Daily feedings and appropriate light conditions will help the animal to rebuild its zooxanthellae population and reacquire its normal tan/brownish color over time. This process may take a while – three months is not unusual.

This looks as if this is a carnation anemone. A little different coloration than what I have but it looks the same. Mine did the same thing when I first got mine so I wedged him up on a large rock where he could grab hold and then move to where he wanted to. They just grab a hold quickly I believe. They are not to sticky. He has been fine since. Hope I could help you out.

Ah attacked by an instigator, guess I'll just quit the board in utter shame!
:hilarious
Interestingly this poster didn't bring any facts or arguments to the debate. For those who wonder they have only to look up zooxanthellae to see what color they are.
This however does not include fluorescent proteins.
When most people on this board talk about anemones they are speaking about the ones that will allow hosting by a clown fish. There are plenty of colors of anemones including white where the sun doens't shine, and reasons why they are that color.
Yawn, I'm board now.
