White like milk still isn't good.

The zooxanthellae are brown colored so a healthy anemone will always have at least a light brown tint. No brown = no zooxanthellae = no food.
What kind of lighting do you have? With enough lights and time, the anemone can recover. Feed it 2-3 times per week to help it recover.
Here's some pics of my RBTAs.

^^ Yeh, i have a few that look the same, nice pictures! This is a really old picture though.
Watch your anemone and feed it mysis and other small bits of food, like viper said, 2-3 times a week. Keep an eye out for "sores" or splits along the oral disk and watch that the mouth doesnt open up too far. Often when an anemone is on its way out its mouth will begin to fall apart first, so promptly remove it before it has a chance to poison your tank
