Anyone rocking a Seabae in there SPS dominant mixed reef. I'm at the end stages of redoing my display and I'm thinking instead of going back with a bubble tip. Just get a seabae and hopefully it doesn't start moving as the sting is nasty on those.

So many pedestrians so little time
Sebae are sand dwelling nems.
while not full sps, there is a bunch lol. Also a very large squammy. Sebae have never been an issue. Especially as they have one of the weakest stings of most nems. Ignore the ltas and haddonis lol. They are sand dwelling and never any issues with them. Only nems I have ever had issues with, regarding sps are mags, mertens, gigs and bta.

Awesome! Thanks. What has been the growth rate on the Seabae for you? Few people have warned me that they get huge! I have only had Bubble Tips, Riterri and LTA in my mixed reefs with predominant SPS. Want to try the seabae. The very few times I have found one, they were not healthy. I got lucky with the Ritteri. I had a column and it didn't move much except around the top of the column as it was the tallest part of aquarium. I lost it when I hitch hiker rock crab cut its way through the anemone to get out of the rock. Never could get a healthy one again after that.
All the bubble tips I have had were no issues and never moved. So you put the foot in the sand beside a rock and you are good to go or in the middle of the sand? The tentacles are pretty puffy on that one and far apart. Does it do that often? Never seen one like that before. I really like the fuller look on some of them that i have seen. I figured it would be the easiest way to get a ritteri look, without the hassel of trying to treat the ritteri.

They do grow quite a bit, but typically it takes while for them to get very large. One of those was about 2" when I got it a year ago and the other was about 3-4". They are now 5 and 7 respectively.
