Thread: still battleing with my Sebae......any help!

    Default still battleing with my Sebae......any help!

    I've got this beautiful Sebae....hosted and happy, or was.
    Now it just floats around the tank, never finds it's place, and the clown barely hangs out there anymore.
    Water levels are good, and it still looks good. Just balled up a bit and wandering.

    any help with sebaes would be great.

    This happend to a malu I tried along with a long tentacle. They were good for about a week then just let go. Some of the best looking nems I have kept. Now I just stick with bta as I dont know what made the others so unhappy. Paul has a huge one maybe he could help. Im sure youve tested the water etc. Do you feed it and if so, what?

    turn off as much of the circulation as you can for about 30 minutes. take a flat rock, and put it down in the sand so that if you covered it back up, it would be about 1/2" below the surface of the sand. put the sebae's foot on the rock and gently pile the sand up around it. after about 30 minutes, slowly start increasing the water circulation back up to normal. this has worked for me in the past. if that doesnt work, try the same thing, but also place some smooth pieces of lr around the outside of the foot and then carefully pile the sand around. i had one that would move about every three months and i would go thru this procedure and it would stay put for another three months.
