Back in July I got a Sebae (?) anemone. It spent the first 6 weeks in my 10gc nano, and then was moved into my 30 gallon. Initially I got 2 small perc's for it (from same tank at LFS). After 4 days, came home from work to find one dead with a ripped off fin. The next morning the 2nd one was on my floor 
Neither, ever went near the SA. I waited a couple of weeks and got a Tomato clown. The clown hosted the anemone as soon as it was released in my tank. In the first few days I could see a huge difference in the anemone, more aniimated, lively, etc. Over the last 6 weeks it has been slowly changing color. The picture does not do it justice, but if you look closely it's turning a tan color with solid white tips. I can't hardly wait to see what it will look like when it is completely healthy! The tomato clown feeds it, and was throwing out everything I direct fed to the SA. Good little housekeeper, grrrr! Now, I shoo the clown away to feed the anemone, give the SA a small piece of shrimp or scallop close to the mouth and one piece on the tentacles for the clown to take care of. It's fun to watch because the clown will pull out the meat, the tang steals it from the clown, the clown steals it back and stuffs it in the anemone. When the tang swims away the clown pulls the meat back out, only to go through the process again until that piece of meat is all gone!

Now:
For the tang police: The Blue Hippo will be moved to the 100 gallon tank at my favorite coffee shop when it gets too big. Right now, it's fat, happy & thriving. Yeah, it will be sad when I have to move it, but know it's the right thing to do!
