Sebae Help

[elaw62]

hello everyone, i set my tank back up after Rita and everything seems to be doing well. Coralline algae is taking off and a blue crocea clam is doing quite well. my question is how hard is it to get a sebae to attach. i run about a three inch sandbed in a 75 gal. tank with 2-250watt 10k's and supplement with 2-110 watt actinic. I've had bta's in the past but recently i tried one and when we went to sleep he let go and became seio 820 food. found a sebae at a lfs with some pretty coloration and appears healthy, tan color with purple tips and would like to try. any suggestions that might help it attach, i've heard they prefer substrate.

my H crispa basically sat unattached for 4 months. It stuck itself to the aquarium glass with it's veruccae, but the pedal disk was unattached. I noticed it had grains of substrate attached to the bottom of the disk, so I gently rubbed them off, and hey presto, it stuck to the glass then buried itself into the sandbed.

Good News. mine has buried itself and attached to a flat piece of rock that I had placed under the sand and against the glass. I fed it a piece of krill last night and it consumed it right up.

and eats like a pig. i had something happen last night that has never happened before, i was feeding it a silverside and accidentally bumped a hermit into it and before i could try and retrieve it, the anemone had eaten the whole thing shell and all.

Wow! I'm sure that happens in the wild a lot, but it hasn't happened in my tank, so I'm a little shocked when it happens in other peoples tanks!
Keep making the nem happy!
