Thumbs down anemone wants to be a supermodel

My bubble anemone would eat a whole shimp and a hour later spit it back out? I even try to feed it Kent Marine Micro-Vert, a hour later it spits out greenish solid chunks. What is going on?

Try some other foods and don't start soaking it in stuff...at least not right away.

Try some krill - whole animals are better than just the tail meat (the guts has a lot of nutrition in it for anemones). Also try some fish.

hth,

I've heard of anenomies doing that when they are "full" or they don't need the nutrition...

Our ate peices of chopped scallop.. it took it well and never spit it out. But they were small pieces.

Did you feed the shrimp with the shell on? Ours would consume it shell off, not on.
