Sebae Anemone Help!

Hello everyone,

So i just got a Sebae Anemone. Its very healthy, has closed mouth and no wounds on its foot and great in coloration. I have a clarkii clownfish together with the anemone and they are having a great time. I actually bought the clarkii clownfish together with sea anemone as an already symbiotic pair, so i really like it. But first i couldnt get it attached for a day. Then i moved all the way down to the bottom of tank and sat itself on some rock. But it got almost no light over there and doesnt want to move at the moment. Do you think it will move because of the lack of lighting or will it just stay there and die? Please i need some help ASAP! And the worst part, the clarkii clownfish only wants to stay at the anemone at the back of the tank PLEASE HELP!

 

I'm not sure about sabae but my rbt anemone sometimes camp out for a day or two in low light areas before deciding to move.

 

best advice i can give you, and this is regardless of the species of anemone is, let it be. moving it where you want will only cause it to spend its energy (an possibly killing it if its already weakened) to move somewhere where it actually feels "happy".

this said, and assuming you are sure its a sabea anemone they are one of the, if not THE hardest anemone to keep. im not sure if this is your first attempt at keeping nems but i would strongly recomend you pick up a bubble tip, preferably green as they are way hardier.

pics will help to determine exactly its current health. if you just added it today (and i completely understand you) dont freak out it will hopefully acclimate to your system. but again dont move her to where you want let her do her thing shows knows better than you what she needs.

whats your lighting and current water parameters?

 

I'm not too familiar with sebae anemones but for anemones in general, I believe, they will find a spot that they like on their own, they rarely choose the spot that you want them to be in

right now the nem may be just trying to adjust to your lighting and has chosen a "darker" area of your tank for now and may move more towards the lighter parts of the tank as it gets comfortable

if its got good color and the mouth isn't gaped open then I would say that you're ok

anyone correct me if I'm wrong here

as far as the clarkii hanging around the back of the tank, I can't help you there but only to say a clown will host pretty much anywhere and unfortunately theres not much you can do to change their mind

 

Hey, you have a youtube channel right? If you are who I think you are your tank is too young for any nem.
