long tentacle anemone

[leslee5050]

I have a long tentacled anemone, and have had it in my tank for 3 or 4 weeks now, give or take. It looks fine, and moves around a lot. But I can't get it to eat. I have tried silversides, shrimp, mysis, squid, and something else, I can't recall at the moment. No matter what I try to feed it, it wraps its tentacles around it, plays with it for a while, and then lets it go. I also feed my tank live DT's, not sure if that helps or not. Any suggestions on how I can my anemone to eat? Or what to try next. Thanks.

The only other food I have tried is krill.

They don't need to eat, as long as the light is strong enough, it will get all it needs from that, I didn't feed my LTA for about 3 months and it was fine. Also is there a clown it hosts? maybe the clown is feeding it scraps.

Also, you may find it will take food once it has settled in a more permenant place.
