Does anyone know what kind of bubble tip anemone this is? I'm wondering if there is a trade name.

Rose bubble tip anemone

It also looks a bit translucent which means it's probably bleached. If you look at photos of healthy rose BTAs, they will have a darker color, and the body is not translucent.

yeup, i was duped back in the day by the ol crazy bright pink nems.... then it gets into my much healthier system and magic happens and it darkens up and you have a standard rose nem. Be careful buying these things they often don't look like what you see in the store for long. Sure is cool looking though. GL

Oh dang. I hope it stays this color haha. The store is great though as far as frags, cleanliness, and variety goes so I just never assumed it was bleached. Nevertheless, looks nice and hope it gets healthy and retains some of its brightness.
