Anemone Feeding Response

[PACHY-FAN]

I just squirted Brine Shrimp into my LTA and its mouth opened wide and tentacles shortened. Is this a feeding response or is there something wrong? I have only had the LTA for a week. Your response is greatly appreciated. Thanx!

Not sure what you mean about the feeding response. Is it possible for you to get a video of it eating? Brine shrimp won't have any nutritional value to this anemone. Its like you're feeding it potato chips.
Feed it mysis shrimp, silversides, raw shrimp, squid, scallops or any type of raw sea food once a week.
Here is how mine reacts.
it slowly pulls the food to its mouth and kinda folds itself in half to eat the food. After its done eating it expands again.
Here is a video clip

That video is AWESOME! I have never seen a clownfish feed its anemone. Yeah I have heard people say they do it but I have never seen it before. My LTA doesnt do that and Thanx for the video. I just cant believe it......
