Seba anomone (help please)

[fishguyxd]

I have one but there are places on it where the tips and tenticle are very small like it has withdrawn on itself or it got burned meaning by salt directly (but that never happened at all) and the middle is very open and exsposed
it's stays in one place, but looks like part of it is trying to dye off there are two clowns hosting in it also water movement is good and water tests are ok ph was 8.0 and now 8.3 no ammonia,nitrite,just some nitrate but I have did water change calcium is 400

So any ideas what could be causing this I am abit stumped

please and thanks

First off what do you mean by "some" nitrate? Really need a #. Also what light do you have this guy under. Sebae's IMO really need MH light to make them happy. I know someone is going to jump on here and say I have one under PC or VHO or T5 but IMO for these guys to really thrive they need MH lighting.
I have a very large Sebae anemone that I bought close to a year ago now from Bulletsworld that I have under 400W MH lighting and it has never moved from where I put it and has probably grown to about 20" across when it is smiling and happy which is most of the time.

I had 10 mg/lit of nitrate before water change ,it's under pc's. I had one before and yes it did fine also. but this one is being funny.

If you haven't already, check out the "invertebrates" forum in the Reference Library and go in anemones. There's a tonne of information there about sebae anemones. Other than that, I'd keep a close eye on it and, obviously, if it starts to deteriorate, I'd get it out of there.

How long have you had this Sebae? You said you had another one before, what happened to that one? Or is it still in the tank? If that's the case, he might be part of the problem depending on how big your tank is.

there is only one in tank
I lost one when I went on vacation earier in the summer (temp problem)
this one is a couple weeks old I have had it for.


thanks for the link info
