Bleached sebae, what to feed?

kathywithbirds · 11-11-2007, 07:33 PM

It's nice when you get to know people with this hobby.

SO... what do you feed a bleached sebae? It's STARK white, purple tips. Currently hosting a single clown, even though it's probably doing it more harm...

It doesn't eat silversides. She's had it three days.

mysis, stray cats or children, whatever is handy, the lighting will be of some importance as well, your going to become the anemwhisperer with poo?

Mine eats Mysis like it's going out of style. I would bet it would eat itself to death IF I would feed it that much. I just drop a couple on it's outer level tentacles and watch it fold up and deliver them to it's mouth. Very cool to watch.

The frozen cubes with a mixture of all meats is good for them. Also I would soak food in vitamins like selcon until it looks better. Pictures???

It's not mine, but I'll see if the new owner wants to get on RS

Squirt a PC mysis shrimp or 2 at the tips once a month or so. That should be good!

CATALYST · 11-12-2007, 07:32 PM

Shrimp or scallop cut to 1/4"...every 1-3 days. Halides. There are probably a dozen different things to try.

reefman420 · 11-12-2007, 07:45 PM

mine was bleached for about a month,i feed silversides every 2 t0 3 days,with my halides and he is just now starting to tan up!

They'll eat anything they can get their hands on.
Tell your friend to try a variety. Meaty foods are better.
Flake and pellets are iffy.

Reefman, post some before and after pics in the anemone club thread.
I want to see.

npedersen · 01-05-2008, 05:39 PM

I feed mine small pieces of raw uncooked shrimp, mussels, scallops or clams. He is happy and fat and loves his "guest

"...my cinammon.

I'm not so sure I agree with cats or children but everything else sounds good. Not all at one time though.
