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.

I feed mine chunks of shrimp, prawn and scallop as well as what it picks up when I feed the tank (it is very sticky). His host Maroon clown also takes it food.
I really hope your anemone makes it but I honestly feel that your challenged by the lighting on your tank and if you want to keep anemones like sebaes you should probably upgrade to MH lighting or try one of the less light demanding anemones.

I have a sebae & have had it for a long time
 . Sometimes they can take weeks or even months to get use to your tank & water conditions. It sounds like its just not fully inflating all the way around this is normal or it may be unhappy with the lights, but without a picture its hard to tell. I can tell you that sebae's need light & lots of it anemones have zooxanthellae & this is what needs light they are photosynthetic so light is a must. BTA's need the least amount of light, I havent heard of anyone keeping a sebae long term in a tank under pc's I have seen live for near 1 year with dailly feedings under pc's, they can live a long time without proper lighting but sooner or later it will bleach. When I got mine it was 3" & in about 5 months under 500watts of MH lighting its now over 8" & is a dark healthy brown. They dont need to be feed often once or twice a week, or under poor lighting then at least every 2 days is a must. I feed mine raw shrimp & mysis shrimp about once a week. Is it sticky by this I mean if some food were to touch it would it stick to it? I hope this helps!!!!

thanks for your posts I think the lighting may be the problem darn when I bought it I said what type of lighting i had but nothing was said I guess it's my fault as well should have researched it more.

The sebae is about the hardest to keep. Maybe a light upgrade or if you can bring it back or find someone who has good lighting. A BTA is a good starter anemone maybe give that a try. Is your sebea brown or white? or whitish? If I were closer Id buy your sebea....
