It looks like its knocking on deaths door. Bleached, inverted mouth, and unwilling to attach are all bad signs. Reviving it will be difficult but not impossible. Mine was bleached white like that when I purchased it several years ago and it managed to pull through. It should accept pieces of silverside, krill or raw clam meat if its tentacles are still 'sticky'. I hope your tank is at least a few months old... judging by how white your rocks are it looks like you just set it up which is also to your disadvantage. Anemones can be pretty delicate and an immature tank isn't very suitable for them. Do you at least have some intense lighting?

Crap, so lesson learned - don't trust the LFS to sell me something healthy...I'll try and get some food for him tomorrow. Any chance I could spot feed him some mysis? That's the only meat based food I have right now. Anyone happen to know a place in Calgary where I can buy silversides?

Update: His mouth is back inside where it belongs, but he's still not attaching and of course he's almost completely white.
Also to answer the questions this tank is pretty new, although the camera exposure really made the rocks (and the animal) look whiter than they are. My vodka dosing might be making stuff look white too, I am not certain. My lighting sucks, it's just compact high outputs right now but I have 300 watts of LEDs showing up in the next 2-3 days. We have pretty extreme flow inside the tank (2 x 1200gph power heads and one 2x 1600s). My water tests actually seem quite stable, nothing bad (virtually zero phosphates, ammonia, nitrates, or nitrites). My Calcium is a bit high right now (470) but other than that I think I'm doing pretty well. I will try and spot feed him.

wow, this is really bleached. It will need to eat or it will surely die. It does not have a trace of symbiotic algae anylonger.
Does it accept food? this will make the difference between live and death for this creature. It might not accept food right away. It it is not sebae because of its red foot. Probably a long tentacles. Sand anemone is not a name it's a general term for the types of anemones which live in the sand, like the long tentacles and the sebae. My sebae was pretty bleached when I got her but now she's huge and dark brown as she should be. I was lucky with this one that she eats like a pig. Previous one was also bleached, did not eat and died in 2 to 3 weeks.

For most of last night he was attached to the side of the tank. This morning I see that he is sitting in that same quiet corner of the tank. His foot isn't fully attached like last night, but it's still partially on the glass and partially on a rock. Last night he ate a metric ton of Mysis, and when I fed soaked algae wafers to the fish the clowns insisted on feeding him some of that as well. His tentacles have lengthened a fair amount from last night so he looks a bit more like his old self again (even though his old self was still a bleached state).
I assume one feeding a day is in order or should I try to do it more often since he's so sick?

anemone
this is bleached, try find a way to recover it or try bring back to the store.
Sand Anemone? Ive seen lots of sand anemone, but not one like this. Sand Anemones are more darker color like little tanned and not as white as yours. Maybe your lfs lied to you, Im sure your lfs knows how to tell differents

 I've seen many a bleached nem in almost every store in the city, especially the sebaes. I like Wais as he brings in varied corals that you likely wont see anywhere else, but he sure gets you on the pricing. I tested him on a coral I bought almost 2 years ago, thought maybe he gouged me as I was a noob, but his pricing was identical. You just need to know what you are looking at and what's reasonable to you may not be to someone else. Good job on getting your nem healthy again!
