I have been mixing Phytoplankton in with the Brine Shrimp

I didn't mean phytoplankton.. phytoplankton is too small. The plankton I'm talking about is from sanfransico bay..it looks like baby shrimp.

Don't feed brine or plankton. Your anenome is starving and need meaty foods.

Feed it small pieces of raw shrimp or silversides. You really need to start feeding it proper food or else it's going to die.

I fed it some shrimp so we'll see how it does.

good luck CharAznable, I hope your bta pulls through. If it does, please post pictures

Thanks everyone!! I'll let you know how it does!!

I have been feeding him shrimp and his tentacles are puffing out good again. He is still tan but he seems to be improving. Hopefully he'll keep improving and eventually get his green back.

Keep feeding it twice a week. Also, feed a variety. Be patient. That is a very sick anemone and will take a few months to start getting back on track.

By the way, when anemones are starving they consume their own tissue to survive. Thats why yours has stubs for tenticles.

Thanks again everyone!!

Thanks again everyone!!

I started feeding the anemone a daily helping of table shrimp to get him "back on his feet" and he has improved 1000%

This picture was taken with the actinics on to show off his healthy glow. Actually the picture isn't that hot but the anemone is doing fantastic. His bubbles are all back and in great shape and he has his green back!!

Thank you all so much for saving his life!!!!

YAY!!! I sooo <3 seeing recovered 'nems

How often did you feed the shrimp and how big were the pieces?

Food

Food

I was feeding it every day as often as it would eat. Now I am feeding it once every other day. I was feeding it whole canned "Tiny Shrimp" from Chicken of the Sea. Now I have been feeding it chunks from larger shrimp. I tried giving it Salmon chunks but it didn't seem to care much for them.

I also flipped the rock around so that it isn't hanging down like before. This helped to hold the food better so that it could get its to its mouth easier.
