Hey guys. I just got a sebae Anenome 4 days ago in my 30 gal tank. I bought some krill and tried feeding it but he won’t take it. I don’t want him to die on me. What should I do? Thanks!

Don’t feed him he needs strong lighting for his food. Stable parameters and an aged tank for success. What lighting do you have and how old is the tank. Again doesn’t need to be fed but you can after a while and it’s adjusted to your tank feed once a week a piece of seafood the size of a pencil eraser.

Oh wow thank you so much. So my tank is about a year old. I have 5 fish 2 clowns a tang and two little damsels the maintenance guy suggested when I first got the tank. So they have all been doing fine. And I’m not sure what my lighting is. I would need to check and get back to you on that one….is there a certain temperature that is best for nem to live in as well? I need to check what I have that at also.

too soon to feed it, and it's not really necessary to do so
So that’s what I’ve been hearing since being on here. The gentleman who does my tank suggests what to do for the tank. But lately what he’s been bringing me has not been going well so I figured I’d come here to people who have healthy tanks. Not saying that he’s bad just wanted some other opinions.

Easiest lighting would be LEDs if you just have regular fluorescent bulbs you need to upgrade.

Sorry but scrap it, actually use it on something less demanding. What size is the tank? A solid led from Reefi, AI, Ecotech, kessil or even a blackbox with the proper settings will do well. When researching lights you will need sps par level for a Sebae ramped up a little higher during acclimating
