that one looks ok to me. But from what I understand, clowns wont host a condy. Something about their sting being too potent. Somebody please correct me if I'm wrong on that. I do know you want to look for bleaching, a gaping mouth and if it deflates for a long time. Typically you can tell by looking at it if something is off.
If you want anemone info I would suggest visiting and posting in the the anemone and clownfish area of the forum. It will probably attract the attention of people who can help better faster.

Condy's are a hardier anemone in my exp. Just make sure it has plenty of light and clean water. I have one in my 10 gal that has a lot of sg swings since I forget to top off and it is not bothered by it. I used to feed it, but now I rarely do. They will sting and kill any coral in their way though. Sometimes a fish may disappear or so I have read.
