Brian Murray –
Received the Sebae anemone in good condition. It has settled well in my tank and shows vibrant blue tips. The coloration is exactly as described. Needs some space and a stable environment, but it’s a beautiful addition to the reef.
Pippa Rutherford –
The anemone arrived healthy and has been active since setup. It’s not aggressive but does move around when fish approach. I keep it in a sandy area as recommended. It looks great with the coral in the tank.

Perfect match for my intermediate reef setup. The blue tips stand out well in the light. It’s been stable for over two months and shows no signs of stress or movement issues.
