Good afternoon guys,

I have a question regarding my anemone. I've had it for a few months now, it found a spot the first night I had it and hasn't moved since. Since I bought it I've been feeding it every 3 days a small piece of silversides. It would eat it right away but since a couple of weeks ago it stopped eating. All my water levels all good and have added anything to the tank. Do silversides go bad in the freezer? What do you guys think it's happening?


Thanks for the help...
 
I do not like silver sides for anemones, never have.
An anemone with sufficient lighting does not need to be feed nearly that often.
Give the anemone some time and try a different type of food such as raw fish, scallops, shrimp.
The anemone could be getting ready to split, so back off the food. Anemones have slow digestion, food sitting in the gut can turn into a bacterial infection.
 
I have 2 kessil A160WE. I have never seen a anemone split personally but I did notice what appeared to be a clear line across it. Does it mean it's splitting?
 
I would only be speculating. Sometimes they split quickly sometimes it seems like it takes days.
You're lighting should be fine. Is the anemone still expanding daily? Does the anemone look other wise healthy, long tentacles, good coloration?
 
It appears to be healthy. It expands but about every 2 days it deflates.
 
I never feed my nems my clowns do that for me :)
