I would drop the silversides out of the diet been reading a lot of post lately of anemones crapping out that have been fed silversides. I recently switched to straight mysis and all my anemones have shown a vast improvement in size and colour. As for the general health don't know what to do it is strange that it wont eat.

ya i amm quite concerned, i have been feeding only mysis for the past few weeks, basically put it right in his face and with no arms to grab anything he isn't eating.

i did the same wes i dropped silversides off the menu i only feed mysis or a mysis and brine mix....it doesnt sound good for your nem if hes not eating and mouth is gaping, plus hes losing color id have to say you may have to prepare yourself for the worst keep an eye on him where hes small you can wait to see for sure without harming your tank but if hes dead it wont take long to breakdown and the mouth gaping and never closing is the first bad sign of death sorry

fyi my rbta went from 6inches to .5 inches, turned pail see through white, disappeared. This happened over a course of month.

i had two in the tank, both did the same. I thought they died. Im not sure what i did (maybe mag or calc), well now they are back! full color, eating like champs, sticky as hell.

i also say the silversides sucks, my guys only like mysis now.

so there might be hope!
