It might be getting more light in your tank than what it grew accustomed to at the store or warehouse. What are your lights? You might want to gently try feeding it some flake or mysid to make sure it's eating.
 
Thanks fore your answer

Looks partially bleached...it is going to need a few weeks to acclimate to lighting of that strength. Maybe screen off the anemone portion with diffusion grating or raise the fixture a few inches.
