yuma mushroom and baby anemone question

[nanonøkk]

ok so i got yuma mushrooms last night and a new anemone and then a tiny little guy
(also my other anemone ended up starving it ended up not taking food and it wasn’t a bacterial infection because it’s mouth only opened after i fed it the next day but anyways beck to the question)
ok so my yuma mushrooms the bigger ones have their mouths opened but the smaller one dose not is it because they are bigger and just acclimating still to the tank or is it something i should be worried about i’ll also have a picture of those
ok and my second question is should i make a small nem box for this tiny little guy which is the next picture and should i feed it or let this one take food from the lighting but i’m also scared of it starving like my other one it’s about a half of inch but it has developed a mouth

Best practice is not to directly feed nems. what type of nem? If it's a BTA let it be and it will find it's happy place. Nems need stability. also how old is your tank?

my tank will be one year old in december and it’s a black widow here’s a picture of the big one and i know they don’t need to be directly fed but i’m probably gonna feed them every monday when i feed all my other corals because when i stopped feeding my old one it started to starve

I doubt it staved...What lights you have? How long are they on. I have never directly feed a BTA and they thrive. They eat what's in the water column.

They are sensitive and tell me when my parameters are off and need a water change as I never test my water.

my other nem also had my clownfish that i no longer have host it day two or three plus the hydrogen peroxide dosing which i stopped i’m going to be only directly feeding him a eraser sized peice of shrimp on the 19th so this time this nem wont be rushed like my other one was

i have an ai prime that’s 7 1/2 inches from the waters surface and i know nems don’t need to be fed and they get most of their energy from the light and they are on from 7:30 and off at 7:30

I'm thinking about getting a BTA. What do the nems do to tell you your parameters are off? Do they shrink or move around?

I would give them 2 more hours of light. Try some coral pellets once every few weeks. Stay away from the shrimp and weekly feedings... IMO

They don't expand as much during the day. Only I can tell, if you asked my wife she says they look the same.

ok i’m more worried about the mushrooms though

 

[Webslinger]

I wouldn't worry about the mouth. it is probably just getting use to tank. Give it a pellet to see if it eats.

ok i’ll try feeding the mushrooms

Do you know which parameters BTAs are most sensitive to?

I know that for some livestock you don't have to look at certain parameters as closely as you do to others. Is that the case for BTAs?

That pic of your BTAs is beautiful btw!

Stability is the key, Parameters need to be within their thresholds.
