Default Bulb (Entacmaea quadricolor), Sebae (Heteractis crispa), or Other Anemone???
I bought this anemone today, asking for a Bulb Anemone (Entacmaea quadricolor). However, when I finally got home, acclimated it, and turned on the lighting, it appeared to look like a Sebae (Heteractis crispa) or other type of anemone (because it has those pink dots at its tips, and also when on a piece of live rock it has longer tentacles).

Can you help me identify it? Is it a bulb? Or Sebae? Or other? Thank you.

I took the pictures with 3 types of lighting...

It looks like Entacmaea quadricolor (bubble tip/bulb) to me. H. Malu and H. Magnifica can look similar at times, but that one looks pretty sure to be E. quadricolor.

It looks like E. quadricolor to me as well. It looks like a nice specimen, good luck with it.
