Then the nem moves the food towards and into the mouth to eat it. If it is not sticky then that is a bad sign. Another thing to look for is if the mouth is gaping open or it loses hold of whatever it is attached to.
How long have you had the tank and the anemone and what is your lighting? |
we have had the anem about 2 weeks... i would not have gotten it, but my husband picked it up, but he doesnt really know much about the tanks... he is learning... our tank is about 4-5 months old, so i realize not ideal for anem's but mu husband didnt know this either did i till be had it... he is a impulse buyer to say the least... lol.. anyways...i have a nano cube 28g, 150w/14K HQI lighting. the tests on water are all good...just got the ph to where it should be... and i did it slowly, but maybe the change is irritating it. but the nitrate, nitrites, ammonia, calcium, salinity and ph are all great right now, so i dont think its the water, unless ph is a factor. i tried bits of shrimp, no interest, its tentacles are sticky but it just let it go.
