my sebae isnt looking too good, what can i do to care for its needs, what water is perfect. pls help

Toddrtrex · 04/05/2011, 09:12 PM

What color is it?

What are the numbers behind "perfect" -- everyone's definition of perfect is different.

What lights?
What size tank?
How long has the tank been set up?
How long have you had the anemone?
What all (( livestock wise )) do you have in the tank?
What are you using for filtration?

Was just reading some of your other posts, is this the tank that just finished cycling?? If so, that is way too soon to be adding an anemone.

rrobbieboy · 04/05/2011, 09:57 PM

PH 8.2 - 8.4
AMMONIA 0PPM
NITRITE OPPM
NITRATE 5.0PPM

I started the tank with a torched coral and a bubble tip witch are doing great, 2 weeks ago i got a frag spawn with 7 heads on it witch is doing great, and i have a purple sponge that looks the same since the first day i put it in my tank. i also have Zoanthid that are starting to grow on one of my rocks, everything is going really well besides the sebae.

rrobbieboy · 04/05/2011, 09:57 PM

yes this is the tank that just got done with the cycle.

rrobbieboy · 04/05/2011, 09:58 PM

its yellow with purple tips

Toddrtrex · 04/05/2011, 10:05 PM

What size tank??
What lights?
What is your salinity/SG?
Really need to know that info.

Your tank hasn't been set up nearly long enough for any hosting anemone.
A yellow "Sebae" (( H. Crispa )), is a dyed anemone; (( but need a picture for a proper ID, but sure sounds like an H. Crispa )) in the 15+ years I have been keeping anemones I have yet to hear/read of a dyed H. Crispa recovering.

upload the pic on a site like photobucket, then use the image code in your post and we will be able to see the pic.

Erik72 · 04/06/2011, 12:45 AM

What looks bad about it? Pic's would sure help.

PRDubois · 04/06/2011, 02:29 AM

Tank should be 6 months to 1 year before you add nems

here is a pic.

Toddrtrex · 04/06/2011, 08:27 PM

It appears to be an H. Crispa, one that is in pretty poor shape.

Given the age of your tank, it appearing to be dyed, the lack/short tentacles, and the open mouth, the future doesn't look good for it.

rrobbieboy · 04/06/2011, 08:36 PM

i will send you anther when the lights are on tomorrow... its looks alittle better during the day. but for the mean time what can i do
