I purchased my sebae anemone in September of 2010. I had only been a reef keeper for 9 months, but felt I was ready to take the plunge. I put it in my 5 month old tank (disclaimer it was an upgrade and I do not recommend anyone put any anemone in a 5 month old tank).
Here is the nem when I got it:

As you can see it was very bleached, but otherwise healthy. I got lucky when I put it in the tank, since it settled in the center of my tank right where I wanted it to. For the first year and few months, I kept the nem under 250 halides. It quickly colored up and began hosting my ocellaris clown. It is now under LED's.
