LF Advice on feeding LTA

[a1a2a3alex]

Hi,

I have a bottle of Kent Marine Invertebrate food, do I squeeze it down the mouth of the anemone?  I wasn't too sure whether I should just add it to the pump so that it circulate or feed it right in.  I tried feeding part of a krill shrimp but my LTA doesn't seems to response to it when I put it on the tentacle and the snails/crabs are stealing it   and it's hard to feed it into the mouth because it is sitting at an angle right now.

Thanks in advance,

Alex

as an owner of 5 LTA's..(tank breed) I can tell you most anemones
prefer pieces of fresh shrimp or silversides......what you're feeding
your anemone is way too small for the enemone to grab,hence the other
fish or inverts always steeling it....
try shrimp or silversides......and keep the other fish clear till the anemone
finally eats it!!!

i feed my RBTA chunks of shrimp. i just grab a chunk with tweezers and stick it close to it's center and it 'grabs' it

thanks everyone for your advices.  Just want to give a feedback on my progress.  The krill does not work because it seems to be cooked ... I didn't know that when I got it.  Now I feed them mytsis shrimp (frozen cubes ones) and use a syringe to feed it.  It is doing well as it feeds the coral too with the same food.

When you go to get shrimp, uncooked is what you want. You will have to peel them first but are better food for your LTA. I will feed pieces of shrimp to LTA,BTA, tube anemones, elegance etc.

Frozen uncooked tiger shrimp that you get at the grocery store is the best.They dont mind the shell.Nobody peels them off in the wild for them.
If its not in the ocean.Dont fed it to them.Do not feed gold fish.People feed Lions etc them and they should'nt.You do not need to feed them everday either.Once a week is fine.
