Sebae anemone and Flat anemone: Are they the same?

I was at my not so local fish guy yestarday and got some stuff and I noted that he had some nice what looked to me to be sebaes in his tank. They were the same brown color mine is turning and with purple tips, just fewer tentacles, and he stated they were not bought as sebaes but were called flat anemones.

When I did a search for them on the net, there was one website that listed a zebra flat anemone and noted it was a in the Heteractis Spp family.

Do any of you have an idea if they are the same, either a crispa or malu (they I am thinking malu). Thanks.
 
I didn't know what a flat anemone was, so I googled it in Japanese. All the hits came up with it being what we normally call h. crispa (shiraitoisoginchaku). This doesn't mean that it's technically correct though, but that's what it is in this market it looks like.
 
Thanks for the answer.. that is what I am thinking they are, as they look almost identical to what mine in, and what others have, just smaller, but they have the nice brown color with purple tips and are much better looking than the named sebaes my seller gets in from another company who bleaches them before shipping.
