Bubble Tipped Anemone

[enjoiskater158]

i bought a bubble tipped anemone for the ocellaris clown about a week ago. he has moved to the bottem of the tank where he cant get as much light as i thought they would need. the LFS said they fed them every other week and they didnt feed them the week i bought it so i tryed feeding it a small piece of clam. i put it near the mouth thinking he would just move it to his mouth with his tentacules but instead he desided to shrink his tentacules and not eat. anyone have any idea why he wont eat or what i should do?

the place he moved to also has Very low water movement. i thought they needed a decient amount of watter moverment?

BTAs can be very mobile when first placed in an aquarium so what you're experiencing isnt entirely out of the question. If its found a place that it likes, leave it there . Did you ask the LFS what they were feeding? Perhaps it doesnt like dead clam?
