Sebae anemone

[bsilvest]

I need some advise on these I tried on back with my old tank and it died within 3 days so After I set up my new 100 gallon got it balanced and running properly, I tried another one, both have been white with purple tips. I did a little research on them and what they like but for some reason the second one died a week after I got it. I have no trouble with the bubble anemone in the tank or the other sorry dont know its name but its got a pink cylinder with white tentacles and purple tips. So can I get someone who is efficiently keeping one and what there doing or some reasons why I may be loosing them as I will not purchase or try another until I fully understand why this is happening or what im doing wrong.

I have a healthy one. They seem to like moderate water flow, in my tank I have undetectable nitrates, I have t-5 lighting. This species often attached to a hole or crevice in the liverock, though sometimes they attach to the bottom of the tank through a sand bed. Temperature around 80F

Perhaps pics and more information about your system could help us help you.

I had a sebae once, it did pretty good for a few weeks then it died. I have a mini carpet for over a year no issues ever, got a rbta now for a couple months and it loves my tank. I dont know why, but they seem to do great in some tanks, and not so well in others.

I've been doing really well with my new tank by dropping the new cocky beginner crap an listening. An everything coming along but trying to keep sebae.

It looks like possibly a condy nem

A better pic would help with id. Almost looks like an LTA that's not happy (because it's not buried in the sand), but it could be a condy, I suppose.
