I was recently at Seaworld and saw this anemone.
Does anyone know what kind this is exactly?

Thanks
 
Looks like bleached crispa in need of TLC :)

And, please do not use super-duper flash for ID purposes :)
 
If it's at Seaworld, there's a good chance it is not a tropical host anemone. There are over 1000 species of anemone, many of them from temperate waters, my guess this is one of them.

Somehow I seriously doubt seaworld would inflict damage to its species just for color.
All of the anemone's in this particular tank were exactly the same color and there were several of them.

As for using a flash... I did not. Had I used a flash then the picture would not have turned out and it would have a bad reflection from the glass.

The color in the photo is the actual color of the anemone.
 
Most likely it is a white anemone, probably temprate as gary said. Yes, they can be white... There have actually been a few coming into some LFS's lately. The most common version that I have seen Has bright white tentacles, with a bright pink foot. The tentacles are not clear as they would be if the anemone was bleached.
