Gbta

[kristytang]

we have two GBTA (well one, it split about a week or so ago) and now neither will eat. they split the day we got them and had a hard time 'getting back up'. they would keep looking like they died and then coming back every half hour or so. upon my LFS recomendation i started doing a 25% water change about daily and now they both look great but they still wont eat. weve tried mysis shrimp, silver dollars, tuna, and clam. they just retract their tenticles or let it roll away from them. their mouths are puffed up and i can still see the wound where they split. one has a gold striped maroon clown hosting in it. ive seen blood worms drop right on the anemone and they still dont react. im guessing this is a very bad sign but wanted to ask. all of our perms are normal, we have one actinic bulb, one 10,000k both 20 watts i believe (three LFS assured us on these two bulbs before we even bought them)

Could you list your water parameters including specific gravity and temperature? Sometimes stress is the trigger for splitting. How large is the tank? Do you have a protein skimmer running on the tank? 40 watts of light sounds very low. What other animals do you have in the tank?

give it some time.. mine didn't eat until after they completely healed from the split
