I have never had an anemone before, although we are familiar with caring for soft corals.
On Saturday we picked one up from the LFS, sold as a "long tentacle anemone", which our clowns should theoretically be able to host in our 150 gallon.
Now looking at it at home, it looks very bleached to me. Should we take it back to the store?

Attached is a photo I took, and a second photo I found online which is a little better, and looks very similar.

Thanks for any help or opinions anyone can offer.
