My first little anemone

OK, so its not so little ;D. Got this guy and the clowns in a trade this last weekend and couldn't be happier with them. This RBTA opens up HUGE . . . when I came home today it was like a mutated red basketball planing world domination.

Its been in my tank for 2 days now, is tonight too soon to attempt to feed it anything?

ohh those are expensive i would feed it even though i dont feed my bta just to keep the color

 

Definitely feed it a piece of krill or silverside, it will love it!

 

I usually wait a couple days to a week before i feed a newly introduced anemone. The reason being is to give it time to acclimate. Once its settled then feed it.
That being said it will probably accept food if you fed it right now. But ide wait a couple more days, just not to risk stressin a beautiful anemone like yours and to create a smooth acclimation.

 

Oh bummer, I fed it half a silverside about an hour before you posted that . . . I hope it'll be OK. It hauled that thing down really fast too, maybe it was hungry? I'll try to get a better pic of it tomorrow, this guy inflates about 25% more than that pic shows. I am really happy with this nem and think it will be an awesome addition to my 180 / 300 system LPS/softie setup that I'll be starting in a couple months. Its really nice to have something with large flowing tentacles that isnt green, I might even make this nem my centerpiece for that setup.
