I have had it for a few days now. All water parameters test fine. i have 2 rose bubbles in the tank and they are doing fine as well (started off as 1). the nem has a tanish color to it and is not bleached. i have 2 clarkii which are hosting, they go back between the 3 nems. this is my first nem that likes the sand. the sides of the foot seem to be sticking to rubble somewhat, nothing really too strong. but the base of the foot doesnt seem to be attaching. i have turned down the flow a bit and put sponges over all the inlets to the pumps just in case. was wondering if there were any tips or tricks i didnt know of?

the tank is a 30 gal 24x24x12, ai sol super blue, mp10w es, tunze 9010 skimmer
 
I have an H. crispa that I rescued back in November. At first I tried it on the sand. it would dig a little or attach to rubble in the tank. However, when I put it on a large piece of liverock with a hole about the size of the anemone's foot, it attached and has remained in that spot for months now. You didn't specify whether your sebae is H. crispa or H. malu. Malu are sand anemones; however, crispa are seem to attach to rock much of the time.
