Nyxis Posted March 10, 2007 Share Posted March 10, 2007 I'm looking for help with a sebae anemone I picked up two days ago. The short of it is there are no sebae around here in the kind of shape I would like so I took the plunge and purchased one that is bleached with the hope that it can be rehabed into a nice happy large home for my clowns. This is the current condition after two days. He only moved during the first 6 hours or so and ate on the first day. He's all alone (except for the crab that didn't want to leave it) under a 70w mh. Anyone here have any words of wisdom for me? Or better yet anyone done this successfully and want to tell me about it? Link to comment
Fishfreak218 Posted March 10, 2007 Share Posted March 10, 2007 when i saw the title i though you meany Sebae was in rehab lol my bad... let it sit under the MH for a week and start to regain its zooexanthelle (sp?) then start feeding it small peices of krill. Male sure you have good warer... Link to comment
fewskillz Posted March 10, 2007 Share Posted March 10, 2007 Thats pretty much all you can do. Keep the water in tip top shape, give it lots of good light, and feed it after it's used to the light. Never put a sebae through rehab, but this worked for a very very bleached (almost transparent) condy anemone. Link to comment
Nyxis Posted March 15, 2007 Author Share Posted March 15, 2007 Here's an update photo 6 days later. My biggest worry is that it will overrun the mantis I keep in this tank before I'm ready to move it in with the clowns. I honestly didn't think it would do so well. So a warning to anyone else buying these watch out they can grow in a hurry. Link to comment
ReefBuzz.com Posted March 15, 2007 Share Posted March 15, 2007 I would limit the water flow hitting it's area for a bit while it gets a good footing. I feed mine scallops and pieces of shrimp soaked in selcon. And they do get quite huge. Mine is about 14" in diameter. Link to comment
