I set up my tank about a month ago and i have put in a sabae clown, i think its called a frog coral, some hermits and snails, chocolate starfish, damsel, and today i got a pink tip sabae at my lfs... i have a 29 gallon with cc for the bottom and 17lbs live rock... i light i have is the expencive one with the blue and white bulbs (130watts). i have a protein skimmer, filter, heater, airator in the tank as well... what i have read about the sabae anemenies worries me because i was told when i got mine that it was easy to feed and take care of... from reading what you guys are saying that isnt true... what do i need to know... he is about 4-5in and only cost 30$ so i think it was a good deal but what do i need to do to keep it alive... he has been in the tank about 2 hours and still isnt moving much...i was told i could feed it blood worm, is this true???? some blood worm is laying on top of it and it isnt eating it....

another thing i forgot to mention is that i was in my lfs yesterday and they didnt have this anemomes but when i went in today they had 4 of them... but my question is about the clowns hosting them... the clown that was in the tank with this one was laying in it and most of what i have read says that it takes a long time for this is happen when i know it was less than a day... what is the deal with this??? is this uncommon???
