Bought this guy as pacific neon tips anemone
I know it is bleached but I am doing my best. It takes shrimps well
After looking at some pics here on RC I am suspecting mine is sabae.
However it's tentacles are somewhat finer than what a sabae should be
It has purle tips
Appreciate if someone can help me I'd this guy

There is no such thing as a "Sebae" anemone. That is just a common name used by many wholesalers and retailers when they don't know the proper ID of the anemone. Your anemone is most likely crispa, but it may be malu. It's really hard to tell from those pic's. Crispa has a large pedal disk with leathery tissue. Malu has a small pedal disk with delicate tissue.
 
Why the tentacles on this guy are so short and finer than other crispa that I have seen on here?
Also mine is hiding under a cave in the middle of my tank
Should I move it lower near the sandbed?
Thanks guys
