rbta trouble

[Reefer247]

hows it going.. tried using the search (you know how easy that is to actually be able to use it) my rose is a 4th generation the size of a dinner plate.. after we got it about a month ago it hasnt eated (when it ate last it spit it back up silversides) now its loosing color. i have tried feeding it again and it took the food today. havent seen any silversides floating around but doesnt mean something didnt eat it. any clue if the zooanthil(spelling) will come back or what should i do.. i used to have a website from someone in this forum who kept them and had a very informative site.. it was also hiding in the rock work for a long time not getting much light

tank is
75g with dual 175watt mh (needs new bulbs)
30g sump/fuge
skimmer for up to 200g

Try feeding it something smaller, like PE mysis, which would be easier for the anemone to digest. Feed several mysis every 2-3 days for awhile to see how it responds. Watch it while it eats, as well.

Here's a video of our RBTA being fed....
