Anemone likes blood worms

[drtito]

I have a bit of different foods that I give the fish and anemone, but the anemone only likes blood worms, even if i mix it with other foods, it still wont eat it(like a dog with a pill in a hot dog selective). Eats the hotdog but not the pill.
I do soak the blood worms in zoa and feed it with my hand(gloved) it eats that fine.
Is it O.K. to just feed it blood worms ??

I was under the impression anemones should be fed marine based food. I have no idea if bloodworms are good or bad for your anemones but uneaten worms can be pretty heavy on your bioload. If I were you I'd try something else. I just made a batch of my own food, so far everything is liking it. I put too many marine based items in to list. I would suggest trying krill, shrimp, scallops, actually any marine seafood would do, cut in small chunks of corse.

I have used my own homemade food and for the most part all the fish eat it up fast, but it rolls off the anemone.
When I get a whole cube of bloodworms soak it in zoa , the anemone grabs it fast and takes it in.
Seems fine , a bit on the white side but good so far.

Don't feed he anemone for a week and then try a chunk of shrimp. It should be hungry enough to eat it then.
Bloodworms

Bloodworms are fine, but I'm a little surprised because my anemones will eat anything I throw at them (bloodworms, shrimp, algea chunks, etc.)

Cool, How I know and knowing is 1/2 the battel.

I waited it out and it took the prepared food, thanks.
