My anemones have never eaten scallop. Or if they have, on rare occasion, it gets spit out after a couple of hours. So I don't bother with scallop anymore, it's just a waste of food. Some people say they can feed scallop meat but I wonder if it needs to be mixed in with other stuff, or maybe they just develop their own preferences. Anyhow, either way, I've never had any luck with scallop.

So my advice is, for now, stick to mysis. Get the Piscine Energetics brand. That's more like the ritteri's natural diet (mid to large size plankton). Other things would be chopped shrimp or prawn, or krill.

If it's still sticky, then all hope is not yet lost. Or I should say, if it wasn't sticky, then it's fate would be sealed already. (Slightly different wording of perhaps the same thing..) Anyhow, try the mysis, about a 0.5" - 1" square cut off the frozen sheet. Thaw it first of course, then use a turkey baster to gently blast it onto the tentacles. Turn the current off and watch if any goes down (the mouth will open huge).
