It kinda looks bleached idk, he says its because he didnt use any blue light when he took this pic, it was under sunlight, he also said the nem just arrived at their place

Are you going to check it out? I have had some anemone issues but never bleaching. Where did they order from?
 
A "sunburst BTA" is a blanket term that can be applied to any BTA that has orange or yellow. I think you should specifically ask for a Colorado Sunburst or Chicago Sunburst, or you might get stuck with a BTA with just a hint or orange or yellow, and it will most likely end up being a normal rainbow BTA.

The photos above look to be bleached red or rainbow BTAs, but I would not buy either assuming that they're sunbursts.

It's not a sunburst, but if you're happy with the color and price, go for it! It's a beautiful BTA.
 
Update on the nem, its arrived and settles on a corner of my tank
