I have been feeding my long tentacle and ritteri anemone CoraLife and live brine shrimp every few days by giving it to them with a syringe. Is this okay? Also my long tentacle anemone has been white (it used to be a beautiful rose-colored the size of my fist), and is always shriveling up. my clownfish are now only obsessed with the ritteri anemone and wont give the other one any attention and too much to the newer one. Should i get another anemone to help the ritteri get some rest? Help?!
to copper: i have been feeding them the coralife seperately from brine shrimp. i have a coralife bulb, and the LTA was bleaching and shriveling long before i got the ritteri (just a couple days ago). my tank has been set up since last christmas, and the water has been very good (i test it constantly, and do regular water changes with R/O water from the fish store) its about 40 gallons (hexagon). the ritteri has attached itself to the glass (almost immediately prior to putting him in, so i assume it is alright, but has just recently shriveled up since this afternoon and hasn’t really recovered (i dont want it to end up like the other one) i tried a couple times feeding it frozen chunks of food, but it never “ate” it because my clownfish wont give it a chance to.
the light i have is the one that came with the tank-fluorescent. the bulb is CORALIFE Trichromatic 100% Super-Daylight 15 watt 360*[degrees] output fluorescent 6500K full spectrum. i was only told by the people at the fish store that you just needed the light bulb. (i assumed they would be correct because if they really thought i would need a new light they would try to sell it to me.) all my levels are very good and within range of what they should be. by the way, the anemones have both perked up overnight and are at full size (except for the LTA, but she’s at a good size too). im not sure if this is because i fed them some brine shrimp of not? thanks for all your help
