Snowflake Clownfish

[allboutthe305]

So I picked up 2 snowflake clowns on Tuesday. Everything was good and even ate the first day I put them in a tank. Within a few hours they were into the giant carpet anemone having a blast. Ever since they found the anemone they won't eat. I've tried pellets, 50/50 brine and bloodworm frozen, and mini mysis shrimp frozen with and without garlic guard. I've even tried directly feeding them and they won't eat. I don't know what else to try to get them to eat. The giant carpet anemone eats fine and so does the other fish within the tank.

Anyone ever had this happen?

Also my water parameters are perfect.

Are your clowns eating yet? You might get some Sel-con, garlic & Vita-chem to soak food in before feeding.

give them a few days. they will eat. they might be eating pieces of food off the nem that it caught, if so they might not be interested in your food just yet. but sooner than later they will and should eat.

Sorry for the late response. They actually just started eating yesterday. Finally noticed they were eating the shrimp left overs the anemone didn't want. Guess the brine / bloodworm and mysis shrimp weren't good enough for them.
