Sebae anemones are one of the hardest to keep alive.
What kind of lighting do you have?
How long has your tank been running?

I have had it up for about three months or longer also the lighting i got a 36pasx it does fine with my brain coral but i hate to say my sebae died the next day after this post i have no idea how good that light is though i just now my brain coral grows fine with it have you ever heard of it

nems should be in a tank no younger than a yr

What's a "36pasx"? What kind of bulbs does it take and how many?

I think an obvious problem is that you have nitrates at 20 ppm. I think that is no condition for a tank with an anemone in it to be in.

Anemone's are very sensitive to variations in you're tank water. With one of those guys in the tank you really have to be on you're game with parameters and water temp. normally if my anemones act out of sorts it's an indication someth'n is wrong with my water. 9 times outta ten i have a spike in something. They are awsome to have in the tank but they are tough to keep if you're tank hasn't been operational for at least a year.

Maxi mini carpet nems are the way to go!

Sorry the light is a 36psdx it just takes one does anyone know of this light i got it with the tank and as far as i know its pretty good

Take a picture of the bulb and fixture.

 

[ColBen112]

sorry about that had to post out for the airforce for 4 days alright i got the pic but if you need more just let me know please any advice on this light will help thank ya
i hope the linked worked let me know thanks

 

[ccCapt]

That looks like a normal output T12 bulb. It's no where near enough light for any anemone.

 

[ColBen112]

Alright what you recomond to get for lighting i hear the t-5's are nice

 

[ccCapt]

What size tank is that?
These are very nice fixtures.
