Anemone id verification please

This anemone came in from Indonesia. It was sold to me as a H.Crispa/Sebae but does not look like any photos I have ever seen of this type of anemone. Has anyone ever seen their sebae anemone puff up like this? It was this way when I bought it and did not totally deflate in the bag. It is larger before I turn on the lights and probably shrinks by 25%. It is almost white and is that color all over other than the tips which you see are purple.

id is correct, it is bleached so make sure you feed it and hope it recovers. They'll often have the stubby tentacles unless they are hosting something.
 
Thanks for the verification.

It gets some shrimp daily and is hopefully filter feeding when I feed the fish. It seems happy at any rate. I got it for a clown I have but the clown never leaves the surface by the overflow so I am not sure it knows it is there. It is interesting that it does not open more to the light instead it closes up some but maybe it has been in the dark and needs to get more accustomed to it.

I did buy another one at the same time that is not white, because I had read that white is not good, but that one has moved itself into a cave area that has circulation but no real light. Hopefully it will move out once it realizes it is in the dark. Otherwise I may have to try to move it.
