you sound like your pretty far into the hobby!

just curious, what color is you sebae anemone, white, or tanish ?

Also Welcome!

sam the clam · 11-20-2008, 09:51 AM

just posted some older photo's of the tanks and will get some updated on soon. Our sebae stated out all white with purple tips sometimes red when purchased then it slowly turned to tanish with purple tips and have not noticed red tips anymore. It has grown huge in the last month. I will gather pics and post.
