I've done a fair amount of searching (Google) and can't come to a conclusion as to what kind of anemone this is. The tips fade from purple to white, and the foot is a cream/off-white/tan color.

Not sure what other information I can give y'all.

Don't be shy, there are plenty of high fives to go around.

That looks like the aptly named, Purple Tipped Anemone
 
It looks like a Heteractis Crispa, aka sebae anemone. This one looks pretty unhealthy though.
So I am at a toss up between sebae and condy right now.

And the picture was taken shortly after it was acclimated and put in the tank it spit up some chunks, expelled a white foggy mist, then got it's footing. Mouth looks good now though, it was only like that for a few minutes

Definitely not Condylactis, IMO
 
That's what they sold it as.... For $10. So I'm not complaining. The more I looked at it, the more I didn't think that's what it was.

Looks like a good buy
Score!
 
I know I’m late to the party….it doesn’t quite look like h.crispa to me (but it could be). It kinda looks like macrodactyla doreensis, but they usually have a bright orange/pink foot. Does it have any verracue (spots) under the oral disc? Like in the pic below. If yes, it’s definitely an LTA, if no, most likely h.crispa.

Edit, Actually I can see them in your first pic. 100% certain it’s an LTA. A steal at $10 for a purple one, they routinely go for $100+
Guess you’ve got some high fives to take back ;)

Nice! Yeah, I went back to look at the OP's first pic and saw them. Good catch.
