This fellow has been at the LFS since last october and I decided to pick it up on sunday. They thought it was a sebae but I’m not so sure considering i’ve owner the typical white with purple tip variants. Any thoughts. The tentacles have a weird ring pattern.

It is a Malu. Malu often of color foot and have tentacles that are of different colors, forming a radial pattern of the oral disc
 
Malu is also and sand bed anemone while Crispa is a larger anemone and live on the rock structure. Here is a picture of a Malu that has different color tentacles. Not all Malu are like this but often they are,
