New Sebae

I just got a new purple seabae also. My Maroon gold stripe won't go near it. Is this normal if he already has one?
 
If you have success with this animal you'll need a larger tank sometime in the future. Mine came to me bleached out in a 15g tall; I knew it never got light because the lfs guy told to not run the 9w pc all day in order to avoid algee. I did and after surviving copper poisoning from using my tap water for water changes it began leathering up nicely; within eighteen months it filled the top of the 13x13 tank, nearly four years later it takes up the better part of the top half of a ~70g bow front. I could never get more than four 12" pcs in the small space of the 15g an dit was diner plate size and baeutifully leathery, now it takes as much as 46.5" vhos can give. It has always lived in the upper portion of the tank, often with its tenacles at the surface.
In the small tank it received healthy wide spead flow from an Aquaclear 300/70; it lives now directly in front of an Aquaclear 500. I have never fed the anemone myself, however, it is very well fed by its host gsm. In a small tank i urge lite feedings, the small biomass supports pinches rather than cubes and clown fishes being Damsels seem to tolerate less than regular feedings much better than other species. For some reason Wetwebmedia urges to never feed your anemone? I trust Bob Fenners opinion very much may he says so knowing the diference between clown fish sized niblets and the human sized bites that many of us may offer it.
I hope this helps.
