Is this thing going to live

[stlrams88]

So after my last sebae died, I had a guy offer me another one. It looked pretty healthy so I took it off his hands. I am trying to get it healthy to put in my 90. The base is brown/purplish, and the body off the nem is brown, disc has a green glow under actinics, and the tentacles are brown. Pic is right after I put it in the tank. It is probably close to 10" in diameter.

I don't think I've ever seen a Sebae with a purple base like that.

 

[stlrams88]

Me either. That wasnt really a concern for me, the only concern I really have now is the fact that the mouth is not shut tight, but I think that is because of stress. The nem looks really good today, mouth is still a little open, but it is anchored hard to a few rocks and burying in the sand.

looks a lot like a Mag from that photo

 

[stlrams88]

That is kind of what I thought. It seems tgo be doing better now it really loves the halides, I guess time will tell.

I do not think it is a magnifica. I have never seen a mag with a pattern like that on the tentacles.

Yeah not a mag, possibly a malu

looks like a malu to me.

Anemones hate to be moved. Good luck!

I agree prob not a mag. I just said it looks a lot like one,, I would agree more with malu but the color is generally more red, is it not?

 

[kimsie]

All of the malu's I've seen also had a white bottom - like most sebae's... That's what threw me for a loop! However the oral disk and the tentacles look very similar to a malu I once had... Especially the green color of the oral disk - the florescent green...

Hope it pulls through.

GO RAMS!!

Always good to see a fellow Rams fan.

I think after looking at it it is a malu. I know that the tentacles have stayed pretty short and stubby, maybe an inch long towards the edges.

How is this guy doing - any new pictures?

 

[stlrams88]

It is anchored hard to several rocks and pretty buried, but the mouth is still kind of open. I have been feeding silversides to try to get it looking better. Fully expanded its about 10" and both of my pink skunks are hosting it. This pic was a few days ago, I will take some more today.
