How to save a sabae

[mushumatt]

hey guys, well my dad purchased a sabae when he was out one time and came home with it. It is bleached and wont attach to anything. He ate last week so hes not doing that bad. I am going to place him in a 10 gallon QT tank connected to me 90 gallon show. I am going to run 40 watt over it until i can get a mh light from my other house.

IS there anything i can do to help him?

Keep feeding. If the anemone has shed all it's zooxanthellae it will definitely need meat to stay alive.

Good water parameters and good lighting. Feeding doesn't hurt either. Hope it does well, keep us posted.
Cheers

yes leave it alone ! the 40watt bulb is a bad idea and why spend more money on a m.h. fixture that you really don't need .
try to form a dead spot where it wont get blown all over the tank and let it settle in . will help if you build a rock barricade and put a small coral rock next to it on the sand . you may need to continue to gently guide it (a plastic spatula works well) back to the same place as it begins to drift off with the current . that is what i did with my problem sebae . it takes time and you may need to put alot of time into it . when it ate did you watch it to make sure that it didn't expel the food shortly after ? i sent you a p.m. yesterday , i'm almost ready to tell you to take my current sebae but my neighbor has dibs on it .

p.s. if it's not in danger of getting sucked into overflows , or pumps in the show tank or having it's food stolen by other animals (shrimp , crabs . fish ... ) i'd leave it there .
be careful with the m.h. , on a 10gallon tank it would be alot of light for a bleached sebae and can cause more problems .

The problem with my show tank is theres about no dead spots and about 4000 GPH of flow through the thing. The only dead spot is behind the rock work. I am not able to get to it in my main tank. I already have a MH fixture and it is not being used at my house.
