Clowns stealing nem food

foxngn · 08/02/2018, 07:47 AM

Hi guys, I just bought a sebae anemone back, but unfortunately after that I do research only found out that there isn't any white sebae nem.

Today is the second day I had this nem, it stay n stick at the same spot I put it on.
It was fully extend and the tentacles still sticky.

When I squirt brine shrimps on it, it stick on the tentacles.
But my clownfish keep nipping off the shrimp that stick on its tentacles. I'm not sure how much does the nem consume.

What's the best way to feed it ? It doesn't work even if I feed the fish on other spot, they just been greedy.

I'd suggest feeding your fish first. Either with the same food or with whatever it is that they like - until they're full. Then feed your nem. People say that they don't ever bother feeding them, but I do also.

Kinda hard, I'm not so sure to what extend does the clown feel full, it seems to me that they just keep eating and eating. Even though I been feedin them pellets n brine shrimp.

You can feed it a chunk of market shrimp.

You know what, I did tried that and my clown pick it up and throw it away...speechless.

Anyhow, next I might try some nyos product or dried krill.
