I recently purchased a large White Sebae Anemone from my LFS that looked very healthy. He has great color moves around allot and in all respects looks extremely healthy. The problem is he won’t stick to anything and its going on 2 weeks! I have allot of flow in my tank and he often looks like something out of a bad western movie like a tumble weed rolling back and forth. Has anyone had this experience? I have 6 other Anemone’s that all immediately stuck to rocks within the first minutes of being introduced to the tank?

I wedged him between the tank and some rocks so he’s not in any direct flow anymore. He could easily attach to the side of the tank or a rock but seems just to have no interest in doing so?

I have one other that I purchased as a small Sebae but now I dough that it actually is one. This one is about 2-3 inch and has much different behavior then the other that I know for sure is a Sebae. This one will attach to rocks or even drill down through 2-3 inch’s of sand to attach to the tank bottom. He also has some red on his base when attached to the rocks.

A white sebae anemone is not healthy when white. A healthy sebae anemone will be light tan to a dark tan in color when healthy.
You will have to feed it often for nourishment until it regains it's zooxanthellae.
Moving around is the best sign that it has not found a spot with flow, light, and gosh knows what else, that it feels it needs to survive.

I have been having the same problem and was wondering if its what I'm feeding it? what do you feed yours?
