want to order a sebae

[ItzJustinN]

as the title states, i want to get a sebae (white w/ blue tip).
i will likely order it through live aquaria (as my lfs never have these).
i have kept rbta for quite some time w/ no issues.
ive read about anemones arriving stressed/etc.
just wondering what i should expect when the nem arrives?
do i need to have anything on hand, where can i get it?
im assuming i should set my QT tank up for it too.
any help is appreciated, thanks!

thanks for posting this as I was just gonna post the same thing. I ordered a purple sebae through one of our LFS, along with CIPROFLOXACIN, not sure if this will work with sebae's like it does with gig's but it is good to have on hand i guess.

A white H. crispa is a bleached one. Would avoid them.

Tan is the most common healthy colors, lesser common are shades of purple.

Agree, and another point Todd makes is there are two types of sebaes, H.crispa and H. malu, very different, Crispa get huge, malu half the size or less, not as light needy, very much a low laying sand dwellar.
Mertensi is the only host nem that is naturally white.
