Fed my BTA for first time

Fascinating! I gave him a small bit of krill and he turned it and contorted himself to get it all lined up and then in the mouth it went. He seems to have rather enjoyed the bit I gave him. He's now moving around trying to get comfortable again. My clowns keep turning a jaundiced eye in his direction. They are not quite sure what to make of him yet. They are most likely tank raised, but the fact that they maintain a little curiosity has me heartened. A little patience and they'll bond.

;D

 

Cool!!!!!! It is cool to watch them feed.....

 

Fun to watch, but resist temptation to overfeed.

Demise of many anems because of people doing so.

If you have clowns, they will keep it fed with everything it needs.

Good Luck!

 

Thanks guys. After the fact I thought I should have taped it. Next week I'll try to capture video of the feast.

 

Yeah, it is really fun watchin them eat. Some anemones though don't require you to feed if you have enough lighting. They will catch some food put in the tank and the lighting will account for the rest of the nutrients they require!
Evan.

 

It really doesnt matter if they were tanked raise or snatched from the ocean, they are still "wild animals" and instincts and genetics and mother nature will teach them what they are suppose to do.

 

I'd imagine mine were tank raised as well, and they sure enjoy the BTA, thought about feeding it till it gets a little bigger, maybe once every few weeks...

 

I put a picture on the side of the tank to see if they can make the connection. lol!
