Leaning strongly towards H. aurora.
Plus, your location helps with that, given the natural distribution of those anemones.
What size tank do you have?
What lights?
Need to work on getting its color back.

It is an H. aurora. They have red foot and beaded tentacles. They live in the sand. Here is a picture of a healthier one.

Thanks Sir...
Tanks size is only 25gal. Nano Tank... RESUN DMS-500PL
Lights : There are lights build in with the tank... But I guess that is not enough... then I added some China LED Strips which I thought it can help...
How can I bring back its color? Do I need to add some more lighting?
Thanks in advance.....

Thanks Orion...
So this is how really it looks... I bought it at LFS and purely white in color which I thought is normal...
I will now research its profile to get more info and need to turn back its color....

He's bleached. He'll color up in the right conditions.
Good luck with him.

Thanks Reefahholic...
Should I just continue the routine, like changing 10~15% of water weekly or I need to add more lighting? With regards to feeding, I give him shrimps and last time crab eggs... I fed him three times a week... Do I need to feed him daily or thrice a week is enough?

I feed mine twice a week. Nems don't need to be fed that much unless you want them to grow. If they are getting too big for your tank, just stop feeding. Feed 1x a month or less. If he's doing ok, just continue ur normal water change schedule. If not, you may want to increase the water changes. What kind of lighting are you running?

I see... For now i will just continue feeding him till his color turn back, hopefully... and will search for a similar seafood mix, or rather I will buy a few pieces of shrimps, clams and small fish... and maybe the vendor will just give it free... Hehehehe...
I just change 20% of water last night and his doing well, he change position and he is now widely open his tentacles... I assume that he is starting to get big...
Lighting : PL lamps：36W x 1pc, blue 36W x 1pc, white b. 8pcs LED, blue... This are goes along with the Tank and the LED is not high power, its just an ordinary LED...
Then I bought RGB LED Strips, modify it and added... I don't know how much PAR all in all they produce and still trying to learn about it... I really wanted to buy high power LED but its so expensive... So I am just planning to DIY, but still searching for simple diagram bout high power LED reef lighting..
