The tips have a hint of brown but I have zero actual experience w/ these
creatures and I'm worried at it's near solid white coloration as I've read that that is bad.

I agree. From the tentacle structure I would say Condy. If the foot is orange or pinkish then I would say for sure that it is a condy. Not the most reef safe anemone. They tend to walk all over the tank, and clowns for the most part will not host in them.

Yeah I called the LFS after I posted this and he said he didn't know what it was called..."Something like a Condy" he says. HA HA!
He also told me that it would be great for my Clown.
Gotta love small town LFS who are in it strictly for the money.

Which is even more of a reason to research stuff BEFORE you bring it home. Not coming down hard on you or anything because we've all been there and it takes a lot of control when you see something that's just screaming your name! But when I go into a LFS looking for corals, I usually have a "short list" of corals in my head that I've researched and figured out where I'd put it in my tank if I found one to my liking. And most important... I don't buy anything that's not on that "short list."

I know everyone's different, and that's just my strategy. But you really do have to research stuff before buying unless you want a lot of "learning experiences" that can be costly.

Wow, I sure am glad I have the option to return it and trade it for something else.
