New pair of clowns and anemone

[kylebeano]

Hello everyone, I recently wandered into a good deal on a pair of designer clowns, and an anemone that compliments their colors very well. I was told it is a purple sebae, im not sure. Its not very happy yet, doesnt seem to have attached quite yet. I placed a couple pieces of rock for it, but dont know if it would prefer a bare bottom/glass with sand surrounding it. It seems more like that kind? Anyway, here are some pics and vids from my S9 phone.

How long has it been in the system? It may take a week to find a home.

Juat a day so far. The RBTA is 2-3 years old now, and has only moved a few inches even through rescapes and tank swaps.
This tank wasnt intended to house them all (just hold them while my JBJ stabilizes), but they look so dang good, i may leave them depending how well they settle in. Im thinking the anemone may take over that whole bottom portion of tank in a year or two if it is crispa.

Theyre looking good today. Purple is getting foot burried by the clowns a little more, and looks better.

Patience is always the key you may lose many corals and fish and inverts but patience allows you to understand what happened each time instead of getting annoyed and taking action that ends up doing more harm than good. With many unless there is a clear problem the solution would be to wait and to ask. Good job asking the question. Nems take a while to settle and it always seems to scare everyone every time unless they have done it for a few hundred.

Just as an update, the sebae tried killing almost everything, the few hardy corals that survived are on the rebound though. I think the nem has settled, i upgraded the light from a razor nano to nanobox duo and upped the flow a bit. I moved the RBTA to my other tank, and its doing fine, i think the sebae ate one of the RBTAs sexy shrimp. It is starting to color up after initial acclimation, getting some bright pink/red spots on the tips of tentacles, which dont come out in pics yet, but looking forward to that.
Here's a couple crappy shots, im leaving all the dead gorgonians in there haha.
