Default Anenome not eating...

Hmmmm - I dont know. It has been a good 2 weeks or more and he still wont
feed. The funny thing is that he looks happy as ever and is fully open at
the moment. This am I found some gooey stuff that he had expelled that
looked like the remins of something. Perhaps he had eaten something?

He is a large pink one with white tips that my clowns love - what is that?

I have had him about 10 months and never had a problem. My lighting is fine
and I have been feeding him a prawn tail a week -8 days and never had a
problem.

Perhaps I will try another prawn tail (a smaller one) tomorrow and see what
happens.
What do you think?

Try Prime Reef frozen cubes by Ocean Nutrition. I thaw a cube out and
feed my anemones every couple days one of them. They seem to gobble it
up.

Maybe he just does not want to eat as often.
Also since it is inhabited by the clown fish, it is
probably also being fed by the clown fish.

be starving....

What do you mean by not eating ? The food does stick and it does not take it in and just
releases it or it does not stick at all. These are not the same thing.
