Ordered this as a sebae, but it doesn't quite look like one.

I should have put why I question it being a sebae. The tentacles look banded. I just never seen one like that. It could be from shipping. I guess.
 
Looks like its a healthy one.... Normally they're so bleached out they don't look that way. Its probably the pink tipped instead of the purple tipped
 
One reason I don't like some common names. Sebae can refer to either H. crispa, or H. malu.

Any chance of getting a better picture?
What does the underside of the oral disc look like? What color is the foot?

Heck, part of me is even thinking that it could be an H. aurora, but would like to see some more pictures.
 
From that picture I believe you've got your hands on a Heteractis Aurora.

OMG, you guys are so correct!!!

It is an h. aurora. It matches the pics identically!!

Here is a pic from online that looks 100% like my anemone:
