Hello my anemone

[Nanoreefjj22w]

I have a rbta I was told they eat shrimp so I gave it a piece and it was fine. Then the next day it spit the piece up and now it looks terrible. What can I do? Also if it dies will it kill my other fish and corals?

How big of a piece did you feed it? Hope is was the size of a pencil eraser.

How big is your tank? Nems can nuke very small tanks. Larger size tanks are fine.

Was it fresh? Cooked? Where did you get it from?

How long has it been in the tank?
What are the parameters in the tank? pH nitrite nitrate phosphate
How old is the tank?

Anemone normally almost all water. Their biomass is a lot smaller than most people think. An 14 inches anemone will have biomass equivalent to a two-three inch fish. Keep this in mind when you attempt to feed anemone.
Also, sick anemone will really go down hill with feeding. Make sure your anemone is healthy before feeding, and don't over feed.

The tank is a year old. The anemone has been in my tank for a month. I was feeding it small pieces of some kind of marine blend that it seemed to love with no problem. The piece of shrimp was from the grocery store in not sure if it was cooked or not I'm assuming it was but I did not cook it. Checked the parameters they are ok nitrates a bit high ph just a bit low. I didn't know about them being mostly water. When bubbled it is about the size of a soft ball. The piece I feed it was about a small marble

Doesn't need to be fed daily. If it's pretty small means it only needs tiny peices. If you have clowns, you may have to worry about them feeding it. I had a bad time with a maroon trying to force feed big stuff to a little RBTA.

Trying to eat uses energy for them. So if it ends up puking it up, for them that's pretty stressful.

You need to stick to mysis shrimp for your feedings.
