check out my HUGE sebea

I have a 29gal biocube with a gold band misbar maroon clown, and a goldflake maroon clown, both being hosted by this beast!!!

As you can see it takes up half of my tank lol

Looks like a nice clown house.

[hobogato]

[olemiss reb]

Definitely a beast. How long have you had it?

Pics of clowns please

 

[frankthtank51]

I have had it for over a year I think around a year and half. I will try and take some better pics now

Sebaes (Heteractis crispa) can get big pretty quickly. I would like to see a little higher tentacle density on it, but it looks good other than that.

I had this one for over 17 years and it was over 18" across in a 40 gallon tank.

It went through a couple clown fish pairs. Here is one of my favorites.

beautiful phender!

 

[frankthtank51]

Phender, what do you suggest I should do to increase the tentacles?

 

[phender]

What is your lighting like and how much do you feed?

Gad zooks - that is one big nem! I've seen plenty in the wild, but not too many that size. Did u ultimately sell it or did it eventually die?

Unfortunately, I had it in my class at school and one summer they decided to turn off the air conditioning before I realized it. It survived for another 2-3 months, but the damage was done and I couldn't save it no matter what I tried.

the lighting is metal haloids and I feed it silver sides 2-3 times a week. WOW that is a beautiful nem and your fav pair looks exactly like the pair I have in my tank at the moment!!!! I am hoping I can get them to breed in the future

nice, looks like a great home for those clowns (and crab). i have heard mixed things about the anemone crabs, how long have you had it?

I have had it for about a year and half. When I got it was about 4-5 inches fully open my clown barely fit in it. It was my first nem and has out lived my BTA I had. Very easy to care for compared to what I read online once I had purchased this sebea from my LFS. One thing I like about the sebea is that it does not move at all I got lucky there. My BTA walked every where got caught up in the filtration twice the second time I lost it

i think lots of people have trouble with sebaes because they are not so healthy when they first get them. most of them i see for sale are fairly bleached in appearance. good job with yours, looks happy

Thank you, there is a picture when I first it and I think it was bleached

Looks good in the video. A little more current might cause it to produce some more tentacles, but I wouldn't worry about it. It and the clowns look happy.
