    Ive had these two Sebae's in the tank for about 3 weeks and they've been doing great..

    But about two days ago one of the sebaes detached from her rock and went to the other side of the tank and has been moving around in the sand since then..

    I feed the brown one krill once every week and she loves it :D
    and i feed the white one mysis cause shes not that big and shes eating fine too, its just that shes moving around too much, and hasn't opened fully :/

    Should i be worried? :confused::confused:

    It is a dry heat, yeah right !
    The first anemone looks great.

    The second maybe a lost cause if it does not foot again soon. Try placing it in an area of low flow in a depression in the sand.

    Sebaes are difficult to acclimate and you may have started with a poor specimen.

    It appears you have an algae issue, possibly cyano. I would test nitrates and phosphates to as well as the basic parameters to make sure a decline in water conditions is not contributing stress to the anemone and also contributing to the development of algae.

    also what type of lights do you have in your system? Sebea IMO are the HARDEST anemone to keep and require a lot of light. I am a little concerned about the color of the one that lost its footing. It appears a bit bleached IMO. If so, there really is little chance of it surviving.

    But as said, post your parems, tank size and lighting
