Rock Flower Anemone or not?

I ordered a rock flower anemone online and got this guy last week. The more I'm looking online, the more I am thinking this isn't a rock anemone...possibly more a Heteractis Aurora. It came pretty white, but looks to be getting some green/brown color and has hot pink dots on the underside (tried to get a pic). Thoughts?

That's a very sick anemone! Read the sticky at the top of the page

Yes I realize it is bleached and came very stressed. Did my due diligence with researching what to do and feel what I am doing is helping unless I am missing something. The nem was still super sticky and settled right into the Rock I placed it in. Mouth was gaping and almost inverting when we got it. It's in a nice spot with filtered light and I offered it food today (mysis shrimp) which it gladly accepted. Am
I missing anything?? From everything I've researched I'm doing most all that I can and its now a waiting game?

Edit: meant to add the reason I questioned if it was a true rock nem was due to all my googling on how to get it back good and healthy. A few threads came up on the hectoractis aurora and I thought mine resembled one.
 
Bleached and healthy is one thing but honestly I would treat it with Cipro for infection. I wouldn't be feeding it now, yes you should feed bleached anemones but not when they're this sick. It takes a lot out of them to digest especially this sick.
