I would have to say that this one looks much better than the first!!
I am glad that you were able to get the store to send you another one, and also upset that that they sent you something that was very obviously distressed and injured before it was shipped.

Hehe, I hope they find it to their liking when the get out of QT. The Monday after next is the when they go back in the DT.
I did try to give the anemone a piece of uncooked shrimp. Needless to say the cleaner shrimp crawled right over the anemone and stole the feast! The cleaner and a pack of nassarius snails are all over that lil bit of shrimp. I put another piece right on top of the anemone and it just sluffed it off to the side. Is this normal behavior for them?
EDIT: I cut the piece in half, he gobbled it up I guess the size was a bit too large. About a 1/4 cube or so was accepted.

I wouldn't feed the anemone until it has settled in. It needs to conserve its energy for acclimation right now and not use it all up trying to eat and digest "solid" foods. | |

I tried giving the guy a small piece of thawed raw shrimp. It just let it roll right off. Not sure what to try. Leave it be or maybe an alternative food? | |
