    I purchased a Sebae Anemone a couple of days ago to go with my 2 true percula clowns. Since I made a stupid move and bought the Sebae before researching, I had to double my lighting. I currently have a STARTER 5gal (will upgrade when necessary) with 4 watts per gallon. I would just like to know if it is looking healthy. Its currently all fanned out, and my one of my true percs hosted the Sebae anemone yestarday, and will not leave its sight! Please let me know. -Taylor;D

    Wow, not sure where to start. Sebae are not easy to keep in any tank. It will likely die without substantial lighting, skimmer and filtration IMO. Tank size is way to small IMO for (2) perculas and an anemone. If the anemone looks pale (changed color since leaving fish store) it may have expelled its zooanthelle which can likely mean death is coming. Not to mention Sebae can get huge! If I were you I would return to fish store, and if the lfs told you this would be ok I would stop going there. Maybe others will have different opinions but anemones should normally be only placed in well established tanks.

    You probably would have been better off with a bubble tip instead.
