Anemone Club! - Page 21

It looks like i am out of the club for now. my anemone is dieing and instead of waiting to see if it bounces back (it won't) I am going to pull it before it pollutes my system. It really sux but i feel this is best for my reef.

Sorry to hear that Frankie. S. giganteas are tough animals to keep in captivity.

hey i got this seabae,how do i feed it?

michael_cb_125 · 10-16-2007, 07:31 PM

How big is it?

reefman420 · 10-16-2007, 07:36 PM

Its about 6 inches wide.why?

GeeWizzItsMe · 10-16-2007, 07:42 PM

Sorry Frankie! I thought it was doing well? It was SO beautiful!

Frankie · 10-16-2007, 09:29 PM

It was doing well Christopher. Then it just up and died. Like Doni said, these are some of the hardest anemones to keep. I don't think it had anything to do with me or my tank. My lfs told me he never had one come through that did well. I thought it was because most reefs here in Charleston are beginner tanks and the local club is pretty inexperienced. I thought i would fare better then them. Now I'm thinking it's also because of the supplier the lfs are dealing with here.
It's cool, I will get another from a reputable online seller. And a Haddoni like i wanted in the first place.
Maybe next week. I have my ca++ reactor and new lighting coming in this week!

reefman420 · 10-16-2007, 09:31 PM

how do i feed my seabae,I tryed putting a peice of krill on it,but it didnt take it,was i not doing it right?

vdituri · 10-16-2007, 10:56 PM

It should just be sticky and grab the krill.
May not be a happy anemone.

reefman420 · 10-16-2007, 11:38 PM

should i just lay it in the tentacels?The pink skunk loves it.lolI realy think i can keep this thing

vdituri · 10-17-2007, 12:00 AM

I would.
The anemone will either grab it or not.
Maybe the skunk wants a snack.

I don't know what else you can do if the anemone is too stressed out or sick to eat. When I first got my sebae from my friend I thought something was wrong with it. Every one I looked at online and at the petstore was bright white and puffy. I thought puffy was happy. lol I was so undereducated. It took me months of searching to find a pic of a sebae that was pink and healthy.

Just make sure the water parameters are good. Can you move the skunk clown to another tank? It probably not helping the anemone at this point.
Too much roughhousing can't be good for it if it doesn't even want to eat.

reefman420 · 10-17-2007, 12:07 AM

i cant realy move the clow,all sites i read say the introduction of a clown will help the acclimation,Im gonna try silversides maybey,where can i get them?

vdituri · 10-17-2007, 12:08 AM

My LFS has em frozen, but mine will eat just about anything.
I've given it shrimp or scallops from the supermarket too.

Try a couple different foods. Maybe something will tempt it.
