Seabay Anenome question

[stinkydavis]

Got a seabay nem about 1 week ago. Was still moving until this morning I found it like this. Should I intervene and try to help it find a new spot. My bubble tip is fully extended and happy. New to seabays but my clowns love them so trying to keep one alive in my tank

Bumping your post!

 

[stinkydavis]

Thank you. It’s still in the same place doing the same thing bubble is not as big but I’m unsure what to do for it. The clowns are loving it. My sand bed gets about 120-150par since I run and SPS dominate mixed reef

No just leave it.
It will flip on its own. If it dosnt in a day or to just bump it over.

IMO, that looks like its stomach is everted, and that isn't good.

If that is its foot and it is upside down, that is better.

I think it's just to foot. I've had my lta do both and stomach looks more messy

This is what it looks like now. It did move one day and went right back to were it was. The piece showing it his foot since when he was out he looked fine. From the research I did the 150 par is even on the low side of what it likes. There is minimal to no flow in there but I have a pretty high flow tank. Is pinching it a little under a rock a stopping flow for 30ish mins a good idea?

I know there different but my bubble tip nem is happy as can be and opened to a full 6-8 inch’s every day.

How long is your photo period? Mine did fine in 90 par but 13 hr a day

 

[stinkydavis]

It’s 12 hrs 6hrs ramp up and down with 6hr full blast.

FWIW, that one may be bleached (is it tan, or white?)and may be sensitive to too much light, unlike a healthy specimen that will want a lot of light. Here's mine from long ago in bright light:

That is probobly fine then.

I somewhat agree? Might be slightly bleached it looks like it has a hint of green and or it's like alot of others and is just white

 

[stinkydavis]

It’s white and has a very faint brown tint to it but mostly white. It was extremely sticky when I moved it from the bag to aquarium

Mine liked to be fed. Especially when new and white. I fed jumbo mysis and clam meat. As it grew and darkened, it moved into brighter light and finally settled in.

I’ve got some muscles I could feed it. That’s what I feed my BTA cause they are cheap.
