petplanet Posted September 17, 2004 Report Share Posted September 17, 2004 Dice the mussel up and don't force feed it. If the anemone spits it out try again after a few days. You need to feed once a week. I use seafood marinara mix from the supermarket - pre-frozen shrimp, mussel, clam and squid. If your lights are brighter than it is used to it will hide till it adjusts. Looks like a Entacmaea quadricolor. They like to bury their base in rock crevices and just have their tenticles out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fay Posted September 17, 2004 Report Share Posted September 17, 2004 six anemones in total, I feed them Port Waikato whitebait they love it, its in season now and forsale in the Port. I just put by the tentacles and they take it into the mouth. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pies Posted September 20, 2004 Report Share Posted September 20, 2004 Bourneman and Fenner say its un-nessessy to feed an Anemone. they will eat bit don't need to. If you have clowns hosting in it you can watch them feed the anemone from time to time anyway. I have a few including H.Magnifica which is generally considered the most difficult of Anemones to keep. Over 1 year old, fed it for the first month, then read I shouldn't bother, havn't target fed it since. I have a beaded anemone and a green bubble tip which have never been target fed by me. Both are over 6 months old. I am getting a Rose BTA soon (Steve have you send it yet?) Pienemone Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
