It looks like a bleached bubbletip anemone. Bleached meaning its expelled its zooxanthelle and lost its color. If it is a bubbletip they are one of the more hardy anemones and in my experience tough. If that were on my tank I would start feeding it so high quality food like squid or oyster since it has great form and does not appear to be too stressed to eat. But keep in mind these types of anemones do not actually need to be fed once they gain all of their zooxanthelle back and then they can gain all their nutrition from the light. But if you want it to grow faster and bigger then feeding it is normal most feed biweekly

At first glance I thought condy or malu, but after staring at it a bit I think hotelbravo is right. The distribution of the color, not just in the tips, makes me think it's a bubble tip that's expelled its zoanthelle as well.

It definitely drew a poor hand to get to live it's life in your tank. They prefer moderate to high lighting with stable water parameters which is generally better provided in a tank that had been established a lot longer than freshly cycled. With proper feeding and care, perhaps it will make a full recovery.
Haha, sorry. I was just trying to be funny and gave you a name for your anemone. Apparently my attempt at humor failed

Talking tank trash!!!

LMAO. Shots fired!!! Apologies to the mods but that frankie comment made me laugh. Little trash talking....not meant to offend......back to the answer.....+1 to bubbletip sans its photosynthetic battle buddies. Try turning down the pumps for 20-30 minutes and target feed with high quality. If her color starts returning you need to figure out the underlying cause. Has it moved on its own since you put it in the tank?

I tried with different types of food, it shows more response for frozen shrimp.
Have you specific brand for high quality food? please send me the brand name.

Pe mysis is a good food for them. But tje biggest thing is you need enough light and stable parameters
