Sebae Anemone

Looking at getting a Sebae what precautions should i take and how do they do with corals? Also please post your pics of your sebae's thanks!

Look for an sabae that is brown or green in color with colored tips. Mine are purple. Make sure the foot is not torn or damaged. What size tank do you have? A 24 gal? I got mine about a year ago about the size of a baseball and now its the size of a volleyball. My system has Sps, Lps, Softies, and Zoa's. Just make sure the anenome can't touch the corals or it will inflict a sting. You also need to have bright lighting.

Thanks! I was looking at a white one with purple tips! Anyone else?

Well, as nait002 said, if you want to get one, get one with color. The whitish ones are usually in poor health. Second, if they do well, they will get very large, very quickly, attaining disc diameters of up to 24". So, in other words, you need to give them plenty of room. They do well when provided with reasonably bright lighting, coupled with a good feeding regimen, consisting of fish meats (the entire fish). Silversides work well for the latter purpose.

what about the blue or red anemones! I want an anemone that wont get any bigger than a baseball and one that wont eat or kill my fish also some color is very nice! please direct me in the right direction for what im wanting. Thanks!

You are wanting something that doesn't exist. An anemone that is the size of a baseball is only big enough to host a small juvenile clownfish. All anemones will get bigger than a baseball quickly.
