| My hot pink anenome loves to eat Furmula One cubes |
|
| 09/22/04 Day 133 20:49 I tried to feed my rose anenome some thawed out Hikari krill, but the anenome refuses to grip the food, and allows the food the slip off its tentacles. After this I gave up feeding the anenome. Why did I never think of feeding the rose anenome anything else? A few reefers suggested silversides, but it is something that I can not find anywhere locally. I never really fed my anenome, and relied on lighting to help with the anenome's symbiotic cells to provide food. I dose a teaspoon of Dt's phytoplankton once a week, but I have no invidence that the anenome has been eatting that. Once in a while during feeding, I notice my clown fish feeding my anenome krill, and the anenome excepted it sometimes, and other times it will allow the food to float away from it's tenticles. Jezzz, what a picky anenome! About a week ago I had been feeding my clown some Formula One, and to my surprise, he actually ate it, unlike before. When the clown was full, he would then deposit the food into the anenome's reach, and the anenome would accepted it happily. After repeated results of seeing the anenome accepting this food, I choped a cube in half and droped it into the center of the anenenome. The anenome accepted the food, and the food was quickly consumed within 10 minutes. I am conviced that the anenome knew what it likes. It dislikes krill, and allows it slide on by, while its tenticles stick tightly to Formula One. Now my anenome has been coloring up very hot pinkish colors with dark pink tips on the ends of the tenticles. My anenome has grown so big, but I still want to keep her. She remains in the same spot on the rock, and does not move around except when shes nees to poop; then she will shrink down into the cave. When she is ready to pop back out, she will stick her head out of the 2 inch gap in the rock. This is such a perfect spot for my anenome as there is no other corals near by within reach of her stinging tentacles. I am sure she is happy now at the spot she has chossen to reside : D. So to summerize up everything I just said in one sentence. If your RBTA does not like to eat krill, and you can not find silverside, then try half a cube of Formula One. |
