just wondering if anyone is keeping a sebae in a tank with bare bottom. i have been reading and most say they have to have some kind of substrate. my tank is bare bottom and i`m kind of having mixxed feelings about buying one and not having any substrate. will it be alright with the just the live rock to settle in to.

Mine is - he came attached to a rock and has never moved. Just sits there smiling (and growing) These guys get big so make sure your tank is large enough to accomodate and that you have enough light (MH).

Your welcome

I love these anemones - remember when they are healthy they take on a brownish appearance and are quite sticky to the touch - they are one of the more difficult anemones to keep.
I would love to try a Ritteri anemone someday - if I can just Tony into selling me his
