Relatively new to corals and saltwater! I have a bubble tip anemone in my tank currently that was gifted to me. I was reading about them and say a post that said white BTA is bleached/dead. I’ll attach two photos of mine, just looking for opinions on wether or not it’s bleached as I saw conflicting information on if this is a natural color.

it looks relatively healthy other than the bleaching. Since it is open and secured to the rock, I recommend feeding it. It needs sustenance to re-establish its zooxanthellae. I like to feed small pieces of wild caught, de-shelled raw shrimp.
 
How long has it been in your tank?
