Zebra mat anemone??

So I stopped by petco to pick up more air line tubing and I saw this anemone in one of the tanks listed as a zebra mat anemone.

Seeing how I came home to look it up and just gather some knowledge about it I couldn't find anything other than other people trying to figure out the same things.

This one looks different then all the other ones other people were posting about.

so... I figure it isn't a zebra mat and must be something else.

Any one know or have any idea what it could be? They also had some long tentacle anemones there in the tank below but they looked slightly different.

Any help is appreciated.

Zebra Mat are H. aurora.
Your anemone (the pictured anemone anyway) maybe (most likely) a H. malu. Some of the Malu do not have striated tentacles. Hard to confirm unless you can get picture of the column.
 
yeah the anemone had its foot buried into the gravel at the store so i doubt the people will pull it out just so I can take a picture of it..hmm

if it's a malu I just need to look the other way. ha

I am not ready for that kind of level of anemone.
