Not sure but I love it! I gave my nem back after researching they do much better in a established tank so my wife is gonna get me a small one for Xmas. That will be over a year for my tank and should be ok by then. I have a bubble tip nem and it was awesome but was scared so returned it. Hope someone can answer your question.

Good luck with it though

Haha I was wondering what that pic was of the tank lol I was saying I never saw a nem like that lol. Seriously though good luck. Can't wait till Xmas for mine! Doing more research so I get one that doesn't get too big.

Lol. The lfs dude said this one is the easiest to care for and doesn't sting so thought I'd give it a go for the clowns. Hopefully all good. But it's gone into a cave at minute do I leave it to do it's thing? That other pic is of two black tips in a Bali restraint lol. Bad pic. Phone uploaded it by mistake

 

[AusAaron]

In cave now

I think it's best to let it do it's thing. It will move around until it's happy from what I've read. And even then after time it may decide to move again. My fiends nem moves often, sometimes you can't even see it for a little then it realizes its in a bad spot and moves.

Yeah same.. Hopefully it comes out and picks a good spot. Thnks

No problem, just keep an eye on it.

It's a sebae anemone. It will get quite big and needs intense lighting. What lights do you have. Just let it move around to find its own spot.

oh k thanks.. The dude at lfs said it only needed low light. And had them in a tank with no light. Screwed by the lfs again no doubt. I've only got an aqua one tank with two marine bulbs. They r fairly bright but not the best

Nems need a lot of light. Like a lot! Lol. I would say get t5s or strong LEDs.

Those lights won't sustain an anemone; let alone a sebae. If you can return it, I would. Awfully strange an LFS would keep that anemone under no light. Either the LFS is being pretty cheap and cruel, or doesn't have a clue as to what's going on.
