First, it's not an "emperor" - B. microlepis, in case you were hoping 
. Besides Aulonocara hybrid it could be a poor looking albino D. compressiceps or S. fryeri hybrid, not that the names make them any less hybridized. As it is, the albinos are just bred to look more like one or the other.
Second, I would not buy any other Malawis from that store if they happened to look like the one you already bought. That fish is in ill-health, extremely emaciated and could be result of malnutrition which can be corrected at home but could leave lasting effects in the overall looks of your fish or the issue could be infectious (wasting disease, parasites, etc.).
