Usually when they look like that they are usually bleached out. Multiple things can cause this, lighting, water, ect. More than likely color up when they get settled in.

+1 to that. The only pure white zoanthus corals I know of grow on Spider Sponges, which are very uncommon, and hard to keep.

Interesting! I am surprised they didn't tell you that it was most likely bleached out. It will be cool to see what color it ends up being.

They can take a long time to get color back too. I bleached my captain americas out when I sold off my sixty cube and they are still white to this day and it has been several months.

You are fortunate it was something good.  When I was new in this hobby I saw a shrimp poking it's eye stalks out of a small rock at the LFS. I asked the clerk how much? $1 was the answer, so how could I resist taking home this "jewel" which, unfortunately, ended up being a real nuisance. What was it? A Mantis Shrimp.  Ever since then, I have made sure I know more than the LFS by asking lots of questions and verifying the answers here before making a purchase.
