I don't have one so I don't have a pic to show you.
They're too demanding for me and the odds of one surviving in my tank are too low for me to be comfortable with.

Perfect water, Intense light, stable water parameters. 90% don't survive long term even in perfect conditions. Those just aren't acceptable odds for me.

I tried two different sebaes...and twice they died within 4 months. The first was pure white with purple tips...the second was bright yellow. I have since read that the pretty ones are the least likely to succeed in an aquarium (even if you have the perfect setup), because they have expelled their symbiotic algae, and have a hard type uptaking it once it's gone.
Whether that is true or not, I don't really know. I just know that I will not be killing anymore sebaes, because I will not be getting anymore sebaes.
If you must try an anemone, try a bubble. They are much hardier, in my opinion. Mine burned itself on the heater, looked like it was going to die, then made a startling and robust comeback.

Here is a picture of my sabae. I'm not going to recommend or discourage you from getting one, but I will tell you the details on mine. I got it about 8 months ago and it has about tripled in size during that time. I know it's history back about 3 years, but not before that. I am at least it's third owner, and it has likely been in captivity for many years and may be a clone of another anenome meaning it has always lived in captivity in a sense. Here it is at about 20 inches across.

krishj39:
What color is your sebae? Is it tan/pinkish brown like it looks in the pic?
I have heard the brownish ones are much easier to take care of....
I wish you continued success...you will be one of the few!

The color is just like in the picture. It has grown darker over the months, and I can definitely tell that it has become healthier the darker it is. IMO, this is the only color a healthy sabae can be.
