I too do not believe that its a Sebae... but without a clearer pic I dont want to say 100%. The pink foot is a give away though...
You will have to upgrade your lighting even if it was a bubble tip. A nova extreme 4 bulb HO T5 light would work nicely but so would a Current Sun pod 150watt metal halide. Both about the same price, and I wouldnt go any less than either of them.
I do not agree with spot feeding being a necessity for your anemone if you have the proper lights for it. It wont hurt it, but its not something that needs to be done on a scheduled basis. But opinions will vary on that subject. I have not spot feed my anemone for over 8 months now and it thrives and grows, nor do my clowns bring food to it.

Would this work? I think it's for saltwater. http://www.petmountain.com/product/l...ht-black.html#

Bottom line is if you want an anemone you are going to have to pay for lights.

Okay about a week ago I went to another LFS and saw (I think it was called) Satellite. I's about $175.00
Should I go with that light?

Also I looked at my anemone very closely and it kinda looks like it has green tips

I hate to disagree with anyone here on the forums but the second one is exactly what I have on my 57 gal and my sebae is growing quite well. actually found the location it sits in today within one day and has never moved. It was white when I got it and now has colored up quite well. I would say you would be just fine with the Nova Extreme T5HO fixture. I have two for my tank. This is just from my experience however.

With the nova extreme fixture, she would only be getting 48 watts. This is a 29 gallon tank, am I missing how she would be "just fine" with those lights.

I believe it is condylactus sp. Pretty preditory species and not native to any clown species. Although they have been known to host there are a lot of scenarios where... well lets just say...

Do you mean they eat small fish?

They are one of the more predatory species of anemone. They have very potent stings. I lost 2 ocellaris to one in the past, I have heard many cases where people have lost fish to them. Yes they are among the few species that can catch and kill perfectly healthy fish. Carpet anemones are the other at the top of the fish killer list.
