New BTA in my 20g...

Somehow I had the urge to call around and look for anemone today. I called my lfs and they said they had a BTA for $29.99. I didn't want to spend money so I looked in my tank which corals I can trade, so I ended up trading my "not so colorful" 4 headed frogspawn. They gave me $20 for it which I thought was a little low, but l I really wanted the anemone. I think this is a Green Bubble Tip, but I'm not really sure.
Now my question is, can my false percula host this anemone? The anemone is touching my yellow polyps right now, do you think it'll kill it? How does the anemone look by the way?

very nice bta! and a very nice tank I like your rock work, also I'm not sure if your perc will host it but we can always hope lol.

In the future you may want to do a bit more research before you purchase animals, especially anemones.
Yes, the anemone can (and I'd be surprised if it doesn't) kill the polyps it is touching. The bubble tip is not a natural host for percs, but they do occasionally take to them in aquariums when nothing else is available.

I did do my research and know that the perc will naturally host the ritteri and rather host the carpet than the bta, but both of those anemones are too big for my tank.
Some people told me it looked bleached, which I didn't believe. What do you guys think? I thought brown is good, and white is bad.
