The anemone looks to be a starved specimen to me, the tentacles are stubby. Once the anemone acclimates, provide intense lighting and supplemental feedings of small pieces of raw sea foods such as shrimp, fish once a week. I would not panic but I would not have dolled out a lot of money for that particular speciment

 

[edmond]

Okay ill try feeding it thanks and no i only paid 25 bucks

 

[edmond]

Oooo btw where is the mouth on this guy ?

 

[Duke4Life]

Just get the food to the tentacles and they will take it to the mouth.

Most Of The Time In The Center But Long As It Gets On The Tentacles, He Should Take Care Of it From There Hah

 

[edmond]

I did it wont take the food

 

[edmond]

does this look normal now ? Feeling a little lost

 

[Tahoe61]

That looks much better. If the anemone will not eat, then do not feed it, try again with small pieces after the anemone acclimates. If lighting is sufficient there really is no need to feed a BTA, but yours looks like it could use the nutritional boost.

Yeah leave him be for a few days to a week and try to feed small items maube mysis. Can't tell in the picture, is its mouth closed or gaping? When you place him in the tank were the tentacles sticky?

If it's closed you're probably okay in my experience and should leave it be.

 

[edmond]

What do u mean nutritional boost ? What could i use ?

 

[edmond]

Tentacles are sticky but wont eat i have no idea about the mouth ill try again to feed it later on in the week and see what happens

 

[Tahoe61]

I feed dime sized pieces of raw shrimp, or scallops or fish that you buy at the sea food counter at the grocery store.
