I had my saltwater store order me a purple long tip anemone, they came into to day and both of them are bleached,
I think it could be a good chance that they can be saved. they are a light purple, I myself was thinking of telling the store to hold them for a week or two to see if they start eating and coloring back up or If I should pass this up.
I do feel very safe from placing a order at SWF.com seine I have never had a problem with any orders before.
my tank is 75 gallon with 40 gl sump, 2 250w MH up and running for over a year, I have had LTAs before but ending selling them off to try out a RBTA, did okay but never as good as the LTA
 
once bleached most of the time their done. only heard of a couple circumstances where they survived and im not sure those were actually bleached or completely stretched out because hungry or not enough lighting.

Not true, many bleached specimens of LTA's and BTA's have made full recoveries when provided with proper conditions and extra feedings.
 
Not a purple one, but...

When I first received it; (( white balance is messed up, but still get the idea. ))
