The LFS that I bought it from said its a rose anemone which is very rare. The price was $90 and they said the last one was a little larger and they sold it for $200. This looks like a pink tip anemone though I know the fish store wouldnt steer me wrong because they are very respectful and highly noted here in Austin.

It looks like a Bulb Anemone to me but, not a Rose.
Although that is a beautiful anemone......Rose Anemones are Rose in color........not pink tipped.

J_G, your Rose is bleached worse than any Anemone I have ever seen. It is going to need a LOT of TLC over the next few months to survive.

I believe Bang Guy hit the nail on the head. It looks just like a Rose Anemone with all of the color bleached away. You are going to have to work hard to get that Rose color back.

i looked up pink tip on the the internet and seen many of them and mine doesnt look anything like the pink tip anemone. I just called the reef store I bought him from and talked to the owner again and he assured me it definitely was a rose anemone.

my next question is why did he turn pail? and what kind of TLC should he have short of rubbing his back? Ill let the clown do that.

I completely agree. It's a bleached E. quadricolor.
As Chris said, feed it anything that it will consume. Try feeding Krill, silversides, lancefish, etc. and hope for the best.

Whatever it will eat should be fine, it will just need a LOT for a couple months.
You'll need to remove the Clowns until it's a lot larger. It's way to small to handle to abuse a Maroon will give it even if it were healthy.
