My white sebae anenome doesnt look so great...

[bluekoran]

I bought a Sebae anenome with a sebae clown on saturday. on sunday all day it was fine the clown even hosted it. That night at like 7:00 it started shriveling up. I have some chemical that feed filter feeders should I add that? It hasent opened yet. Should I do a water change? IT might be the temp my heater is acting funny and the tank temp is only like 75-75 F. Thanks for the help!

Don't freak out when new additions close up or hide for the first few days, totally normal.

I am not trying to discourage you or anything,
Unless ur tank is really mature and u r lucky, Sebae won't survive in captivity.
I lost 2 Sebae no matter how much efforts I put in.
They just couldn't make it.
They wasted away slowly and......

also WHITE = Bleached in this hobby and thats not good it means that it has lost all its algae that it depends on for food and in a stable healthy system it takes months and months for it to regain if it regains it at all. Most die because of this.
normal cause is a lack in proper lighting. be sure to keep it feed and under the right lighting to even give it a chance of coming back.

both my Sebae were under 2-150w MH and 2-130w PC. 560w total.
Lots of light, lots of hand fed...still died.....

o I was just adding to what you were saying. seabaes are notorious for not living very good in the home tanks.
