    Hi All,


    Just got an anemone from hong leong 3 days ago. Yesterday try feeding it with a small pc of market prawn but it refuse to eat. Any tips on how to encourage yr anemone to eat?


    Should I get a bottle of those coralife invertabate food and feed using a springe?

    Hie,

    You might want to try positioning your anemone higher up in the rockwork - I find that mine semms very comfortable sitting at the topmost zone and getting a whole lot of very bright light.

    Good luck!

    Regards,

    firstly, just for your info.. common clowns aka false clowns.. and they usually dun go to any anemones.. u can try tomato or sabae.. they are very friendly..sabae that is.... from the pic, it is very diff to id the anemone.. but based on the shape of the tenacles.. it should belong to the bubble tip species.. but i'm not too sure..

    defroze the brine shrimps, use a syringe to suck up the brine shrimps and squirt it near the mouth..

    [b]squirt it using the syringe.. not squeeze it.. u can just squirt it onto the tenacles.. use brine shrimps.. it it still refuse to eat.. monitor whether is it the water parameters.. if everything is still ok.. chances are, it is bye bye for the anemone..[]

    your water parameters are fine.. perhaps u can redirect the current towards them??? and maybe squirt some brine shrimps towards the outflow so that let it catch the brine shrimps by itself.. these are some of the methods that i used to feed my anemone
