Did I make a mistake buying Sebae Anemone

[PeterEde]

My tank is now 17 months old. ALL typical parameters are in range yet I have lost 3 BTA over the time. I have struggled with NO3 which is now at 15ish. I am aiming for below 10ppm.
So on the weekend my LFS had the Malu Sebae Anemone and I caved again.
It seems to have settled on the bottom well. My clowns so far are ignoring it.
Hopefully this time I can keep a Nem alive more than a few months.

Your NO3 is fine.

Light and flow are what I'd concentrate on.
My experience is that they take a while to find a place they like and bounce around until they do.
Make sure it's not going to get blended by a pump and leave it to sulk a while. :)

Running single 16HD. Been considering a 2nd or even a Hydra32

How is it going with your Sebae?

Still going. Looks to have grown

I've had one, it was quite a few years ago. I was surprised back then my clowns took to it quickly and it settled really quickly into a nice spot like middle-front just a little to the left. It did well with slightly raised no3, it did end up eating a small kole tang tho so watch out for that

My lights back then were some cheap t5 bulbs I got off a random site. Nothing fancy about them. It was funny I was just looking at nems last night but decided I didn't want to risk my butterfly eating it
