Haddoni don't want to eat

[Kaman8]

I am not sure why it don't want to eat. It is healthy , not deflated , mouth not open, when I tough it with the stick it is sticky . I give it some raw shrimp , but after 5 min it just let go.

How long has it been in your tank? It may still be adjusting to its new environment. If its new to the tank I would not try to feed it for a few weeks, let it settle in first

It is in the tank a month now and it is hosting my pair Clownfishes.

Are the clowns feeding it? One of my clowns feeds my mag so I rarely feed it. It might just be full.

As strange as this may sound, he/she may not like the shrimp or doesn't recognize it as food maybe. 1 of my haddoni also does not like shrimp, all my other haddoni will eat it, but this one always just lets it float away. he does like clams/mussel though. go figure mostly though I feed krill, brine nutraova etc.. I fing that my nems seem to do better with smaller foods.

I didn't give it a whole shrimp, I have cut it in small piece. Maybe I should try other foods, like you said "maybe it doesn't like shrimp .

I would try to feed him food every 3 days or so. Rotate food until you get the one he like. Feed small pieces only until he eats well.

So that mean that it don't like some food? I thought that it will eat everything.

When they feed well, they eat anything but when thay are getting well, they may be picky in what they eat.

Is it sticky? Or it just can't catch the food?

I wouldn't worry too much if it's not deflated or mouth not open. The couple that I've had are kinda picky eaters too until they adjust in your tank well. Then when they get used to you feeding them, they will eat anything that touches them. Mine ate a huge scooter blenny I had. He was my favorite. Trained like a dog. RIP....

It is sticky and it will catch food, but after around 5 mins it will let it float away.
