Reviving a Bleached Magnifica Anemone

[gobybryant]

What happened? Typically if they're eating a bleached mag (and most other anemones) can recover.

The last few times I tried to feed, it seems like the anemone is trying, but no matter how long I leave pumps off (up to an hour in one attempt), it still loses the food to flow...have I just been too impatient?

What are you feeding? Consider trying smaller food that the anemone can grasp onto. I typically feed frozen mysis, but you can also try regular pellet fish food, too.

I was chopping up shrimp into tiny pieces per an earlier suggestion. I can try turkey-bastering some mysis close enough for it to catch some. I feed the fish in the tank TDO pellets that I could try spot feeding as well.

Any update on how it turned out? I'm facing the same problem with my RBTA.

Good luck!

Mag did not make it. It just slowly withered over time.
