    First one looks like it might be a Condylactis, not sure on the second.

    I want to say sebae anemone for the second one?

    Btw, for future purchases, it is always better to know what you are getting before buying it ;) especially when it comes to delicate things such as anemones :p

    I think you are right on them being sebae.

    I think you may be best doing like you did with the tangs and take em back. They need stable mature tanks, intense lighting, and can wipe out your tank if they die (which is very possible in a young tank). Much better left until you have some more experience.

    The one on the left I do not think is a sebae. Sebae's have shorter tentacles, and I'ver never seen one without the tale-tell purple tips, which this one doesn't have. To me, it looks like a terribly bleached carpet anemone. Either way it's bleached and not doing well at all and not a good buy. If it was me personally, I would first see if the LFS would take it back, if not then toss it. Not worth risking the whole tank trying to bring it back, specially if you are so new to anemones.
    What size tank, what lights, and how old is the system?
