anemone eating

[spkdtch]

i have 2 small condis, a pink tip, and a tube anemone that looks like its dying, in different tanks
the new condis grab the food, but one it gets to its mouth and it tastes it, it drops it, my pink tip doesnt even grab food anymore, hasnt for over a month
ive been feeding them raw shrimp and even my urchin stopped eating the shrimp
the shrimp has been broken up into the amounts i feed then and frozen, so i take out a pack unthaw it and feed everyone so i dont think its spoiled
i can go out and buy more shrimp or krill or silversides, not a problem, just wondering if you guys think thats what the problem could be, since they used to eat it, especially the urchin but now wont touch it

what are your water parameters?

Maybe the shrimp is bad. Have you thought about going out and buying a piece or two of fresh and seeing if they will eat that?

thats what i was asking, could it just be bad shrimp? ill go try something else and see if they eat it

 

[jerryatrick]

Not sure how large the pieces of shrimp are but maybe it is to large.

i was wondering that myself, but im not sure why my pink tip wont even grab it, just lets it fall with out even noticing it

 

[dive girl]

Or they could not be hungry. My rose anemones haven't ever turned anything down.
