After months of careful setup, the Purple Tip Green Sebae Anemone has thrived in my 40-gallon tank. It’s vibrant and active under high light. I’ve had to keep it isolated from other corals due to its aggressive behavior, but it’s a stunning addition to the display.

This anemone is impressive in appearance and grows well in high-light conditions. I maintain strong water flow and stable parameters. It’s not for the faint of heart, but once acclimated, it’s a showstopper.

It arrived healthy and looks good in the tank. I’m cautious about its interactions with other species. The growth is slow, and it requires consistent monitoring. Not a beginner-friendly choice.
