Well as those that read my last post about my Sebae Anemone, I thought it was sure to be dead.
However after listening to much advice from a few sources including NVR. I bought a nice CF light system, a RO/DI filter and did my best to nurse my Sebae to health.
After a few weeks it looks as though things are paying off.
Currently im doing 20% a week water changes to slowly move the tap/saltwater out of the tank and eventually only have RO/DI filtered water in the system.
I run my lights about 7 hours. But I should put them on timers soon to keep it exact.
And twice a week i take a cube of brine shrimp in a turkey baster and blast it into the face of the anemone to offer it a chance to eat.
Well usually it deflates sometimes two or 3 times a day, the first week it seemed to spit out some of its brown micro organisms that feed it, and since the lighting, and Jesus moved it into a cave, that I put back once or twice, and now with the water changes, it has finally mounted onto the rock this week in the spot we choose, finally took its first food yesterday (well it seemed too at least) and my percula clown has been living in it and taking care of it as well.
In the last few days (especially after this weekends water change) it seems healthier than ever and I'm guessing it will be fine in my tank as long as I don't make any big changes anytime soon.
When I get a chance I'll take a picture of it.
