In another thread a while back I found out that Sebae's usually dwell in the sand. They typically don't extend their foot into the rockwork because their foot is much larger and less sticky than other anemone's that prefer to reside on rocks, like BTA's. Sebae's rely on their disk more for stability, so high flow might not be desirable. Ultimately it will move to where is feels most comfortable in your tank.

If it helps, I bought my sebae about 3 months ago and placed it in the sand where the rocks form a kind of bowl around it, it has stayed in that very spot ever since. There isn't exactly a tonne of light where it is, so I feed it a bit of mysis once or twice a week. It took about a week for my clowns to make their home in it. Their tenticles are quite sticky so it must have taken some getting used to for them.

You reminded me of my next question. I was just curious what you feed a sebae anenome? I see you are feeding it mysis. How do you feed them?

Joel,

You can feed your anemone a variety of foods (meaty foods) . You can feed him silversides, shrimp, mysis, brine, etc.. (you can catch my drift) What I usually do is:

In a container (that you use for feeding) put some tank water with some food (thawed) in it. Then take a turkey baster and suck the food up, turn off all your pumps (dont forget to turn them back on) And slowly blow the food onto it's tentacles. It will go from there... You don't need to feed it every day also as a note.. maybe once or twice a week should be sufficient.

HTH,

Thanks so much for the video Beverly! That was very helpful. Did your RBTA move around on you when you first placed it in the tank?

Hi Beverly,

So what kind of plastic tubing do you use? Looks like freezie tube.
