Sebae Anemone

[marine mike]

Yes, pics would be helpful. If his color is good particularly in the foot area, extension is good, he is eating, it could just be ready to split, particularly after the stress of moving him when you got him. After I see him I could probably tell you more..........

This is him now

 

[marine mike]

From that view, I can see nothing wrong with him at this point. How was the foot in particular, you can usually see if something is wrong within the foot area first? I would say just stay the course with him, especially if one of your clowns is hosting, that will only help him adjust to your tank and the new environment. I wouldn't necessarily confine him to one area, it may be that he wants more or less light than where he is, so don't get him stuck in one spot, let him decide. The clown should also take care of most of the feeding for you. The color and extension look great, that is one nice looking anemone!

It is on the move again seems to be moving with the water current but its on the move again

What type of current is in the tank? You might consider putting it in a low flow area, or redirecting the flow until it gets a good hold on. It's good that it ate. I would try not feeding it for a few days.

 

[marine mike]

How is your clown behaving towards him? does he go back to him once the anemone settles down? I would call that a good sign. I would agree with jack that your feeding should be curtailed especially if your clown is really hosting, he will take care of that.

Him now

The clown seems to go to it once and awhile not to often, at night it stays with it all the time. tell me how does the clown feed him when i feed the fish the clown never goes to the anemone after he has eaten

 

[robbous]

i am runing a redsea wave maker with 4 power heads maxijet 1200 and 3 900's

 

[marine mike]

Has he always had a white foot like that? Any sebae I had always had a pinkish/orange foot, but white may be normal on that type, I am not sure. Again, his extension and color in the tentacles looks great.

 

[robbous]

Yes always white

I'm on the same page as Marine Mike. The Clowns with do most if not all the work for you. I'ts not uncommom for these guys to walk all over your tank untill they're happy. I think it looks really healthy from the pics.

 

[robbous]

Please expalin to me how does the clowns feed the anemone, i dont think i have ever seen this. i use to have a 125 gal tank with a carpet anemone, and never seen the clown feed it i use to feed it a gold fish once a week

 

[robbous]

While i have you here guys why does this coral extend its middle like this sometimes i just took this photo, i always wondered why he does this

 

[marine mike]

My clown will actually feed his anemone first before eating himself. I put in a few small pieces (1/4 in. or smaller) of silversides and he will grab one and bring it to his anemone, then go and get whatever for himself. It could just be that your clown is still adjusting to the anemone. ok, if the foot is always white, then I would say you have a very healthy anemone there IMO. Looks fine to me. It is possible that a reduction in your flow until he calms down might help him, and watch for a split. Watch your clown as he should start bringing food to him at some point. Then you know you can basically stop feeding him specifically. I would say that coral you sent the pic of is just extending itself to light, like polyp extension IMO. Don't have that particular coral so can't say 100%. Keep us posted!
