Sebae anemone in hiding -- any good ideas?

RobG · 09-10-2001, 11:33 AM

I got a Sebae anemone last Wednesday, and it's looking great in the tank. I was incredibly happy to notice yesterday that the female of mated pair of maroons has already taken to the anemone!!!

However, the anemone has decided to walk around the back of my live rock and is barely visible. Now that my clownfish lives in the anemone, I don't see the anemone or the clown any more.

Anyone have any ideas or advice on how to get the sebae to be happy living nearer the front of the tank?

I would try to change around your circulation. An anenome will move around until it finds a spot that has the lighting and circulation it likes. I wouldn't move your rock, maybe just change the direction of your flow a little and see what happens. It may not move back to where you want, but just experiment a little. Don't try to move the anemome, they will move when they are ready. My crawled around for a couple of days before finding a spot that it likes.
