I bought a fairly large Sebae & it is anchored on the substrate next to one of the LR. It is "stretched" upward, looking like a large toadstool. Is this normal or is it needing more light ??

my sabae moved off the lr i put him on and sits on a small flat lf almost in the sand but my 2 bta's streach up during the day to get more light and when the lights are out the sink back inbetween the lr they are anchored to .. i n other words it is normal .

My Sebae fixed himself on the side of a lower piece of live rock partially spread across the sand. He has not moved from this spot in 2-3 months other than to spread out every now and then. Mickey!

Mickey -- Sounds like it's right at home. Are there any clowns to keep'em happy?

[R-e-D]

have a yellow stripe maroon,alardi,perchula and 2 regular maroons and none of them will host with the sebae

He's moved a little bit to an area between the sand & another LR. Looks very "plump" & is not stretching upward now. The 2 oscellaris (sp?) clowns wont touch him but the cleaner shrimp play around him a bit

Give the ocellaris some time. Mine dove right in, at least the female did. She wont let the male in yet.

They'll move themselves if they need more light...they're not a coral you know

My Clowns don't pay much attention to him. This might sound strang but I have a rather large Star polyp rock that my clowns like to play in. Mickey!

Check out mine in my avatar.Nothing they do would surprise me!

Mickey, it's interesting that your clowns like the star polyps, but they can irritate it and cause it to decline.

Here's a chart which gives you an idea which clowns tend to host with which anemone.

My maroon yellow stripe Just started hosting in my Sebae today. I think they are in love now. I am so stoked. I knew there was a good chance that he may never host. It seems there are few clowns that will host in a Sebae. Anyway I just feed everybody, and I am going to try to get some pics later. Mickey!

[mmille9905]

Finally managed to get a few pics. My Sixline Wrasse kept getting in the way. Mickey!

Oh brother! Now the sebae is upside down next to the rocks. Before that he stuck his tentacles to a piece of LR w mushrooms all over it.
Do these thinigs ever stay put?

[reefnoob1991]

It's finding a spot thats best for it, just give it time

[mmille9905]

Once he finds a spot that suits him he will stay put. Mine has not moved in 3-4 months. Mickey!

So....what has he done since your last post? I came home with a sebae yesterday morning, and it was keeping me quite occupied by putting it back, It keeps catching a current and 'freefalling' across the tank. Has yours taken hold of something?-Thanks
