Beautiful anemones!
The first one looks good but it is definitely bleached out. Given the proper lighting and care it will return to it's full color.

its in a 34 gallon nano cube with 72 watts of power compacts. its fed everyday. I have a small seahorse tank so the highlighter gets the extra food when i feed seahorses

To be blunt -- the LFS was either lying or misinformed. That anemone is bleached -- when/if it recovers it should look similar to your other one.
What all do you have in that tank? I have seen a clown, sixline wrasse, what looks like a yellow tang, and seahorses? Is that correct? A bit concerned about the water quality.

seahorses are in another setup. sixline wrasse, pair of clowns, yellow tang, starry blenny, cleaner shrimp, harlequin shrimp pair, couple urchins, 4 pom pom crabs, bunch of corals, and other various snails and crabs. its a 24 gallon not 34 typo. the big anemone is a rainbow, the smaller 1 is extremely bright pink.

That is way too much of a bio-load for a 24 (( not even getting into the yellow tang's swimming requirements )), going to have some water quality issues.
Both anemones are E. quadricolor, just different colors, and bright pink/white isn't a healthy color for one.

Too high of a bioload for such a small tank. That would be a fair bioload for a 90 gallon in my opinion.
Also. I agree with the nem looking bleached

i understand what your saying and trying to help. i do water changes every other week. thats not the fishes permanent home moving in 5-6 months and setting up a 150. got 2 healthy clams in the tank and all my corals are healthy growing good and look good. so i dont see y ppl say its 2 much for it. everythings lived in there just fine with no issues for the last 5 months.
