Sounds about right to me, I guess. Get a brown one if you want, ( if you have the light for it ) but not a white one. The brown ones are brown because they are full of zooxanthellae algae, which makes them need lots of light like corals do. It also makes them about as easy to keep as a coral.
The white ones, though, do not have this algae, which means they don't need that kind of lighting. Instead, you'll have to feed them all the time and then keep their water pristinely clean despite that.
As anemones go, carpets are among the easier ones to keep. That's not to say that they're easy, though; anemones are anything but easy, and corals are literally easier in most cases. Strange, eh?
