I have a tube anemone. I have had it for about 2 weeks now. I have it in my 45 gallon all fish aquarium. Paramaters are: salinity 0.123, nitrite 0, nitrate 10, kh 10,CA 3.60. My lighting is a 50/50pc compact. The fish in my tank are 3 gobies, a red pistol shrimp and 2 hermit crabs. I target feed the anemone every other day with mysis, or brine shrimp. I went back to my fish store, because the anemone doesn't seem to be eating well. They told me to purchase silversides, as anemones love it. Well my RBTA in my other tank loves it, but this anemone won't eat it. I push it under the tentacles, waiting for the tentacles to grab it, but they don't. I try this for 15 to 20 minutes at time and it still won't eat it. I am putting the liquid food in there, but I don't know why it won't eat the silversides, or really eat much of anything. Help??
