How does my LTA looks after 14 days in DT?

[forrealb50]

My LTA has been in my DT tank for nearly 2 weeks now. She isn't eating any krill and but doesn't seem to be losing any color. She also pushes out a little waste from her mouth every once in a while. You can see in the second pic that her mouth is open. It has been tightly closed but still opens now and again.

What do you think?

I think your anemone looks pretty good. You could try some other food besides krill. Like a piece of raw shrimp, PE Mysis, squid pieces, sea scallop pieces, fresh/frozen sardine pieces or silversides. Silversides are questionable though. Some people have killed their anemones feeding it a silverside, because the silverside was bad.

Should I be worried or next time I'm at the LFS pick up another kind of food? What's a good amount of time between feedings?

I feed my LTA no more than once a week. If I feed it anymore than that, it starts to spit out food partly digested.

I would like to add a pair of clowns. Which pair do you think are most likely to host the LTA? From what I was told I think I'm going to go with maroon clowns.

I like the look of maroon clowns, but they are really rough on their host anemones. Pink skunks, clarkiis or tomatos do well with this anemone.
