Try feeding frozen mysis. What lighting do you have?

How long has it been since you have seen it eat anything?
How long have you had it?

well i think its been a couple months. It as far as i have seen hasnt eaten, hasnt changed colors or size. He moves around every now and then, comes out dureing the day and deflates under the rocks at night. Pretty much what i think to be normal. Just not eating. I just took a baster and shot live brine right into it and it appeared the brine mostly all swam out. nothiing going in mouth.

The going in and out of the rocks is normal. Some of mine do it regularly others do it occasionally. If he still has good color and has normal extension I would guess that he is alright. My anemones will eat almost anything, but seem to prefer krill or mysis. I would not attempt to force food into him. I would just try giveing him a piece of food every 2 or 3 days if he does not want it make sure the food does not lay around. I know people who rarely feed their anemones and they do fine. They just do not grow as fast.
