Dead anemone

Sebae arrived a day early, and was delayed in getting acclimated. I don't think it's good....

Had one in a past tank and liked the way it looked.

Yeah, looks pretty bad. If it doesn’t recover dramatically in an hour’s time, it should probably be removed.

The reason I ask was that they have a troubled track record in aquaculture. I can’t recall many reefers keeping them long term. Peppermint anemone are much hardier. Then the flashy colorful ones too. An anemone tank is a labor of love. They wander around, sting corals, and hide in unseen locations. Good luck

Is that the stomach extruded, with a (healthy looking) green skirt?

Yes, that’s what I was thinking also. The green “skirt” is normally the entire top, so this would have been a sebae with green tentacles.
