Sebae anemones are not as forgiving as say flower or Pacific Long-Tentacle anemones, so keep this in mind! Sebae's require very intense, preferrably metal halide, lighting for their success and survival. Feeding of these is not crucial as offering it shrimp, fish or clam once or twice a WEEK is all that they require. They get most of their nutrients from the intense lighting and water!
Feeding too much will just advance the negative high nutrient level often associated with the keeping of anemones. They also require excellent water parameters!

what lighting do you have?
and how big is your tank with dimensions?
what are your water parameters?
you dont need to feed it twice a day, maybe once or twice a week.
