Try some of the bay shrimp you can get at the supermarket. Tell the butcher it's for your anemone and they'll have no problem selling you just a pinch.

I feed my anemone silversides.

he is pretty small, i have some frozen krill should i just place it near its mouth?

kau_cinta_ku · 08/01/2008, 02:43 PM

place it in the tenticals and let him grab it. don't put it on the mouth. his tenticals should be sticky.

Silversides are great to feed but for some reason when i feed it a shrimp...it looks much healthier. Krill is good for know but i would move to something a bit bigger for optimal growth. Try a number of things and see which the anenoe prefers. Does the anenome have a host to scavenge for food??

I would feed it a variety of raw seafood including shrimp, clam, scallop, tuna, squid, and any other seafood you can find. My BTA doesn't like eating big chunks of food. If I cut them up into smaller pieces it seems to like it better. Also, the fish like to eat the stray pieces that the anemone does not grab.

well i have 2 clowns that arent hosing it yet... any ideas how to entice them to discover it... they are tank bred so i know that causes a challange

sometimes clowns will call it home in a matter of min. or it can take months or sometimes they won't even use it. just wait it out.

in the wild they use them as their home as the anemone protects them from danger. in a tank without danger they may not use one at all. but that don't mean to get a fish that will attack it just to get it to go in.

heck, I have an anemone and yet my clows use my leather or frogspawn as their home and don't even look at the anemone.
