Hey all, my lfs has a Sebae Anemone that I was looking at, & the guy at the store is somone I dont trust ,opinion wise, & want to know exactly what, how, & how many times to feed it?? Will it get along with a BTA? Will it host Percula Clownfish? The gut at the lfs said it wont thats why I'm asking. Lighting I have a 60g with 260 watts 2x 12000k bulbs & 2xactintics want to put in 10000k's, Thomas712 said my light will be OK not the best but ok, but I was wondering about the 12000k's ,I dont like em, should I switch em out???
PLEASE HELP
I NEED TO KNOW MORE, MORE, MORE!!

Your lights are alright for a BTA, But not a sebae, for that I highly suggest you get Metal Halides, as they are the best for survival of this type of anemone. Sebae tend to be much more sensitive and delicate, many have difficulty in keeping them, most don't seem to survive very long in captive systems. Some however have the nack! But with your lighting then I would say pass on the sebae.

If you can squeeze in more then go for it. Otherwise I suggest these as possible new lighting system.
Possible options depending on size and what you may like.
This first one is 360 watts***
36" 4 Lamp VHO Retrofit Kit (w/ ARO Model 4L ballast)
Bulb1: URI Super Actinic VHO #10-30-03-V (+$19.00)
Bulb2: URI Actinic White 50/50 VHO #12-30-ATW-V (+$16.50)
Bulb3: URI Super Actinic VHO #10-30-03-V (+$19.00)
Bulb4: URI Actinic White 50/50 VHO #12-30-ATW-V (+$16.50)
Total without shipping. 236.00
The next two are both 440 watts.***
The 46.5" VHO retrofit kit. (w/ARO Model 4L ballast)
Bulb1: URI Super Actinic VHO(+$20.00)
Bulb2: URI Actinic White 50/50 VHO(+$23.50)
Bulb3: URI Super Actinic VHO(+$20.00)
Bulb4: URI Actinic White 50/50 VHO(+$23.50)
Total without shipping 256.00
48" 4 Lamp VHO Retrofit Kit (w/ ARO Model 4L ballast)
Bulb1: URI Super Actinic VHO (+$20.95)
Bulb2: URI Actinic White 50/50 VHO(+$23.95)
Bulb3: URI Super Actinic VHO (+$20.95)
Bulb4: URI Actinic White 50/50 VHO(+$23.95)
Total without shipping 258.80
None of these are for fancy dual timers or moonlights, The 4 bulbs are either on or off all at one time. But these are options.
I think the bulb prices have gone up scince I last posted this but its very close.
