Nice pics.

However, you're anemone appears to be badly bleached. You will most likely need to feed it regularly until it regains its zooxanthellae and can support itself with photosysnthesis. Are the tentacles sticky and do you get a feeding response from it?

I agree with Nick, your anemone looks way bleached

Is that a basket star?

 

[Maxx]

No that appears to be some form of anthelia...

lots of anthelia I frag it all the time to keep it thinned out. I will look at the flower anemone and see if it is sticky. What should I be feeding it? Is brine shrimp and mirco vert good?

Your flower anemone looks like a Beaded Anemone, (H.aurora).
Read up on them and see what they prefer supplemental food wise.
I would strongly suggest adding supplements to the food as well, Like Selcon for starters and Zoe later on. These will help your anemone with vitamins and fatty acids etc it wont get in your tank.

Here is a decent start on reading for you...
