BTA doesnt want to eat!!!

[aileena]

Every since my maroon hosted with my BTA like a week or two ago, the BTA refuses to take food...I've tried squid and mysis. For some reasons its tentacles aren't as sticky. The maroon really overwhelmes the BTA I think. the clown would swim in the BTA's mouth if it could...

good luck

nope the anemone never gets fed by the maroon clown...

 

[fishman830]

is it possible he does when your nto around?

How long have you had the anemone? In some cases the Clown Fish will start hosting in the anemone before he is comfortable in his new environment and then the anemone just becomes even less stable with a fish constantly bothering it before it is acclimated to it's environment and thus cause it in the worst case scenario, to perish. HTH

I really think this anemone is on its way out...
I again tried to feed it and it shrunk up like you woudn't believe...its tentacles are starting to turn white...this sucks...I do not know what to do with this...
parameters are perfect...and its been in the tank for about a month...
