RnB Posted November 14, 2004 Report Share Posted November 14, 2004 perhaps a more agressive feeding program for the anemone? Pretty much just one of those things I would think. its a jungle out there Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pies Posted November 14, 2004 Report Share Posted November 14, 2004 If you feed your anemone directly, it alters its feeding habbits and becoming more aggressive (from reading on RC/UR etc). I have 2 anemones, 1 hasn't been fed in over 12 months, the other has never been fed in over 9 months. Both are stull surviving. Lots of people have shown the if you feed the anemone meaty food (lance fish etc) it is more likley to activly seek that type of food in the furture. Not sure if its true, but its what I am going on. I have 2 anemones and my bi-colour is still alive. Pie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
