I'd give it some time before feeding the nem. Also, nems dont require feedings. All it's food comes from the light. As long as you have a good source of lighting you shouldn't have to worry about feeding it.

+1 Also, the BTA will get some food if the clown is hosting it tin the form of fish poop. Pleasant, I know. Lol

Yea well last night right after I posted this the anenome shriveled up and his mouth was gapeing open idk if he is still like that. Is that normal for it moving into a new tank

What kind of lighting do you have?

 

[Marco V]

4 bulb T5

 

[Elykreefs97]

I moved the rock and faced it up but he shriveled back up and is getting ready to move

 

[Jake337]

How long have you had the nem? I also have a 4bulb t5 ho. My Bta don't bubble though only the small tentacles do.

 

[Elykreefs97]

Iv had it 3 days

 

[Marco V]

Looks extremely bleached .

 

[Elykreefs97]

No he's green it's just my iPod doesn't get it to well

 

[HovaRockz]

They shrivel up all the time I believe it's how they release wastes

 

[Elykreefs97]

Yes I know that but they shouldn't do it alot

 

[Elykreefs97]

What if my anenome was starting to bleach what do I do

 

[HovaRockz]

Feed it meaty foods and give him more light exposure

 

[Elykreefs97]

Ok thanks

 

[Elykreefs97]

Will blood worms that have been in my freezer for like month be ok

 

[HovaRockz]

Yes feed maybe twice a week and keep in mind they get nutrition from photosynthesis so lighting is highly important for them
