anemone standing on its "face"

[seatrueblue]

I use to have a sebae, I got it from Divers Den on Liveaquaria. These anemones don't ship well and some don't make it past a few months. The Divers Den H. Crispa (sebae) died in less than two weeks. The second one I bought from them seemed like it was going to make it then three weeks later, things went down hill. The anemone lasted for 3 months.
When you say the sebae is not dyed, is it white with purple tips? If its white then its unhealthy as well.. White means it has lost all of its zooxanthella(any of various symbiotic green or brown algae in the cytoplasm of certain radiolarians and marine invertebrates). Some recover from losing all their zooxanthella but most slowly die in a couple of months. If its brown,green, purple or gray with purple tips then that one might have a chance. I personally think it is best to stay away from sebaes unless you have years of experience getting anemones to recover from losing all of their zooxanthella.
If all you want is a home for your anemone shrimp insted of a home for a clown fish. Then why not get just a very nice looking condy anemone? I wouldn't put these anemone shrimps with an anemone that is meant to be with clownfish. These shrimp are known to be parasites to anemones that host clownfish. The shrimp eats bits of the anemone while using the anemone as a host. The Condys seem to tolerate the shrimps eating habits better.
