This Purple Sebae Anemone has grown well in my 50-gallon reef tank after several months. It thrives under high light and medium flow. I’ve had to be cautious with placement to avoid disturbing other corals, but it’s a striking addition to the display.

The anemone arrived healthy and has expanded nicely. It’s aggressive, so I keep it in a corner away from sensitive species. Water parameters are stable, and it’s been active since setup.
