Sebae Anemone Questions!

[Melonbob]

OK, We placed him yesterday, and he kinda got himself comfortable in a nice nook. He was there all day, but as soon at the lighting went off a few minutes ago, he curled up in himself, kinda like a clam. Is this normal? I'm really worried about killing this one....lol

That is normal. I have had a lta for years and it curls up about an hour before the lights go out every night.

Perfectly normal.My BTA does that every night.

Cool, another question. He is pretty bleached, which I learned is not a good thing. However, already he seems to be a creamier colour, is this possible that quickly, or maybe just his appearance under new lighting?

Most seba anemones are a very light cream color to begin with.From looking at the pics you posted,it looks fairly healthy to me.
Just be sure to feed it every 3 to 4 days and it'll be fine.You can actually bring anemones back from being bleached pure white by feeding them every day.But your dont look like its bleached to me.

I hope it does well for you.They are super difficult anemone to keep alive long term.White/cream color with purple/pink tips is the color I've seen the most.

I bought mine about 5 yrs ago from Petco...of all places. It was about the size of a silver dollar and pure white. FWIW, I never fed it anything.

This pic shows about as much as it closes up. When fully expanded it's the size of a large dinner plate.

Great job bringing that anemone back from the brink of death, Capt!
