My experience with sebaes goes back a LONG time ago now (1998-2000 timeframe) and it's sort of sad how much things have not really changed in that time (coming in bleached or dyed, that is).

I found that the trick to getting the one I had to settle was to have the foot wedged into a crevasse gap between two rocks that was about 1" wide but something like 12"-14" deep. My thinking is with that species is that they don't really attach with the bottom of the pedal disk that other anemones do, but instead use their verrucae to adhere to substrate and also inflate the base so that it's pushing into the rocks and not able to be pulled out by the current.
