what kind of help do you need? from your post the first help I can offer is that you learn to use test kits and do not rely on your lfs for any answers
aquachef, there is no white sebae anemone, what you have is a bleached/unhealthy Heteractis Crispa, from capture to you it has been mishandled, it will require lots of light and careful feeding if it survives, upside down and oozing is a bad sign, check to see if the tentacles are still sticky if not its dead, if you gently bring it to the surface and smell it, if it stinks get it out or the whole tank will be polluted.
If you want to try again some time just ask us about whats needed and we will happily fill you in.Best luck!

yes Matt, just the latin name
in this case absolutely correct!
thanks guys for your help. i took it out it was dead. any suggestion on what to put in tank safely? have 2 clowns 1 goby, 6 mushrooms and trees that multiply like crazy. the light is this one Aquatic Life thanks again for any help.
the anem you bought was something that should not have been for sale, odds are very bad trying to rescue one that far gone, if your tank is stable and around a yr old and you find a healthy specimen you can try again.
If you decide to try again ask us what to look for, and an online shipped anem is not a good idea.
