Hi everyone! I’m new to this forum. I’ve been involved in saltwater aquariums for about two years and still learning! I have a 30 gal with 5 fish a new sebae Anenome which I need help with. I’ve had him for about 4 days and bout some krill to feed him and he won’t take it. So I don’t know what else I should try and I don’t want him to die. Any advice? I will post some pics later of my tank….advice for the best temperature to keep the water. Not sure what I have it on now I need to check. We’ll look forward to being a part of this group! Thanks

Welcome aboard!

Give the nem time... 4 days is not a long time. I feed my anemones slices of frozen clams. Go down to the supermarket and buy a couple fresh clams and toss them in the freezer. When they're frozen I crack the shell and slice off thin slices with a razor blade. I feed these thin strips to the nems using tongs. One of my Rainbows is the size of my head.

No I have two clowns but no host. What do you suggest?
Search R2R for anemone hosting for recommendations. Some people recommend getting a tube and put the clown in the tube and position the tube over the anemone.

Welcome to R2R!!! I wouldn't worry too much about feeding as long as you lights are sufficient. Four days old is really new. Let the nem get settled in. I don't feed my nems, you'll be fine if your water and lights are correct. Glad your here!
