Long tentacle anemone not eating

[daniella3d]

wow, interesting story. I am pretty sure it is just a matter of time before they discover the comfort of the anemone. At least they sleep pretty close to it, a few inches that is.

How long did you have the current out before they went into the anemone?

it went from a few inches at the store to about 8-9" with in 2 mths

well the breakers first tipper sometime throughout the night and when i got up for work at 6 i noticed it right away as it was next to my bed, it took me maybe an hour for a friend to bring an extension cord so i could use another plug and then the trial and error of finding out what was tripping it, so i would say a few hours for sure but im not really sure.

another thing i have done in the past is feed very little for a few days and then only feed the anemone and usually the clown will get daring and try to rob its food and after it realizes its not "harmful" they go in fully

pic has never really worked but i did find if you dont have a pair adding an already hosting female will also dop the trick...monkey see monkey doo

yes mondey see monkey do. It was not before the female saw the male go into coral that she went in. She had never done this before.

It drive me nuts to see that they host and sleep in a coral that is about 1 inch from the anemone. At least they are not on the opposite site so eventually... I will try feeding near the anemone to see.

Problem is the trigger
