What Kind of Anemone?

I ordered a white sebae anemone online and I got something that looks very different from what I was expecting. I took a picture to my lfs and they think it is a rock, bulb, or flower anemone but not a white sebae. The tentacles are definitely not tipped in blue or purble. They are also shorter tentacles than what I have seen in a white sebae. The tentacles of the anemone that I was given have rings.
Look at the pic attached. What do you think?

Hmmm
I am NO expert, but it doesnt look like any sebae I have seen. However, I wanted to post to comment that a white sebae isnt necessarily a good thing. My understanding is that this means that the anemone has bleached, which is actually undesirable. I healthy sebae would actually be more brownish in appearance.

It looks like a bulb anemone and they have a good picture of one on saltwaterfish.com. In response to the white sabae, I believe that they are a great anemone for any reef tank. they are quite hardy and I have never had any problems with mine. Come to think of it....I haven't ever seen a brown sabae! yellow and white are the only one's that come to mind, and again, never had problems with them
