Please could you tell me if it's a Heteractis Crispa or a Malu?

Hi guys, this is my first post in the forum. The other day I bought in a aquarium-store a Heteractis Crispa, but after a few days, I'm checking it does not seem a Crispa, but a Malu. Please could you help me?. I show a couple of pictures.

Thanks in advance

I would say malu, doesn't llok to good but maybe it just needs time to adjust.

It is on my tank only a week ago. I would like to be sure that it is a malu to talk to the guy in the store. Thanks

The column does look crispa-ish. The oral disk/tentacles look malu-ish. In its bleached and stressed condition, it's hard to be positive. I would bury its foot in the sand, near something it can attach to, and hope for the best.

What do you want to talk to the LFS for? Most LFS employees can't tell malu from crispa, even if they are healthy. Most of them simply call these anemones "sebae".

Thank you so much for your help, I really appreciate it. I'll bury its foot in the sand as you say, near a rock, and then... wait and see, thanks again.

Well... the anemone finally died
