I didn't realize it was a seabae. They are more white than other nems but that one still looks pretty white. The fact that it won't eat though is far more disturbing. Is it sticky? Did you try a whole shrimp or just a piece. My BTA prefers several smaller pieces instead of one large piece. You should be able to put the food on the tentacles and it will stick. Then the nem moves the food towards and into the mouth to eat it. If it is not sticky then that is a bad sign. Another thing to look for is if the mouth is gaping open or it loses hold of whatever it is attached to.
How long have you had the tank and the anemone and what is your lighting?
