Every time ive gotten a new nem, it always hides then slowly comes out, ive seen alot that look like they are almost dead come back.
Your lighting is perfect for that guy, your tank im sure is within normal specs too. Nems like to be in one spot mostly then just getup and move. If i was you id try to keep your guy upright, and half shaded, your lighting may be too bright for him at 1st.

Sebaes are sand dwelling anemones. Put it on your sandbed and dig out a little part against a rock where it can get ahold of the rockwork. It may take 24-48hrs for the foot to attach.
You have enough lighting there for it to be happy.

These guys are hard to acclimate to new waters.
If it came from a retailer, then it came from a wholesaler, and probably a holding tank before that. Hes been in at least 3 types or water before you met him. And they don't like changes very much to say the least. If hes sick giving him up to a friend might just kill him.

Even if you do not have sand on the bottom of the tank, ensure you flip him over so the foot is down to encourage it to attach.
Do you have any way to take a picture of this anemone so we can get an idea of what it looks like? I am asking all these questions because I have been working on bringing back the health of a sebae myself since June and learned a lot from it and I would like to see what I can do to help you to save this one if no one else wishes to take it (If I was in your neck of the woods I would have).

He is creamish in color with purple tips. May be I should of not feed him for a first week as I suspect food may be irritated him even more. Would you suggest a container with the sand? |

I take it the anemone you have looks sort of like this then?
 This is my sebae when I first got it on June 30th of this year. It was about the size of a toonie and it didn't want to stick it's foot to anything. I had to turn my MP pumps to minimum for 48hours and watch it while it tried to attach itsself. It's tentacles were not all that sticky either. It was a very sick and bleached anemone. Most of these type of anemones don't make it I'm afraid and they take a lot of care to bring them back to health. To try to coax it to attach to the bottom I would reduce the flow in that area. Ensure there is a rock or perhaps something with a shallow bowl shape that this anemone can put it's foot into and will feel happy. After a couple days with it's foot attached you can then try feeding it. 1-3 small mysis pieces at first or a krill depending on the size of it's mouth. NO SILVERSIDES, not even chopped up, they are being proven to be bad for anemones. Feeding should be once every 2 days. This allows time for your tank to not get muckied up with anything that is uneaten. It will also help if you have a good skimmer on your tank. By the way, are the tentacles on your sebae small or are they longer?
