What he means is basically if it looks white it has already lost its color. Its color is related directly to its zooxanthellae (Its main food source). If it is white it has lost its zooxanthellae and you will be fighting a battle extremely hard to win. Its hard enough keeping Anemones let alone when they are near death already. My suggestion, take him back. Look at the pics of the Bubble Tips sold here... you will see a huge difference in there color

to some extent, yes. The one on SWF is somewhat bleacked, but it does still have some zooxanthallae, and some UV protecting pigments. If yours is completely white, It will need a lot of TLC, and still the survival rates are dismal. If it has as much color as the one on SWF, there is a good chance of recovery with a lot of TLC.
Good luck!
