Anemone question

I just got my first LTA. I feed my fish mysis what should I feed the LTA and how?
Thank you

 

This sounds crazy but a guy at the store just told me to get online and find a pic of a clown (the same kind i have ) & a condy anemone together and print it then tape it to my tank where the anemone is and with in 2 weeks the clown will go in the anemone ...anyone heard of that, I'm gonna try it what the heck?

 

One thing to watch for is the size of the nem. It may not need to be target-fed at all, especially if it settles where it can catch food when you feed your fish. I'm not referring to it closing- they just do that. But if the base starts shrinking and/or the tentacles appear shorter when it's open, then it definitely needs fed. Any frozen meaty fish food will do. I use a turkey baster to gently shoot the food into the tentacles. Buy one for that purpose only. Never use any utensils that are used in the kitchen and/or get washed in detergent.

Cheers

 

Can't say I've ever heard that one, but I guess it won't hurt to try it. However, when I first added my Condy, my Clown tried to go in and got stung. He won't go near it, now. That's when I researched and found that clowns are not naturally immune; It's something they acquire, and tank-raised clowns might not know how, having not been raised in or near a nem by it's parents. Also, even if a clown did host an anemone, if they are separated and kept apart long enough, it may lose it's immunity.

On a lighter note, my Domino Damsel hosts the Condy. I noticed him under the tentacles rubbing on the base one day. It didn't seem to bother the nem, so I left him alone. After a couple of weeks of that, he started swimming through the tentacles unharmed.

Cool! Thank you for your replies.

 

No doubt it is a condy. The strong sting of condy's prevents many clownfish from residing in it. Feed monthly or bi-monthly with sm. pieces of raw seafood.

If you want an anemone that most clownfish will reside in look to the BTA's, but return the condy first.

 

It does sound crazy. However, I heard the exact same thing, I posted a picture, and my ocellaris clowns hosted my condy after a few days.
Keep in mind that my clowns were in the tank with the condy for two weeks prior to posting the picture and that my large female was wild caught.

 

I decided to just let them do their thing My Condy looks good and I think it is really cool! I hand feed it and my peppermint shrimp. Clowns are happy too, so happy they vibrate!
