Having problems with feeding my carpet anemone and sea goblin. carpet has killed two fish, but not eaten them, and will not take krill. Any suggestions on what to try.
Also my sea goblin has not eaten anything, i have tried feeder guppies and krill as well as squid and brine shimp.
Any suggestions would be helpful. I have had both just over a week and they seem to have acclamated well. thanks.
 
Try feeding the Carpet a small piece of raw table shrimp. about a 1/4" cube or a little smaller.

Good luck
 
The carpet should be fed table shrimp chunks, not whole pieces. The same can be used with silversides.
As for the sea goblin, try the same. Usually you might want to start with some live feeder shrimp to get them to start eating.
 
i vote for live shrimp as well. This is the best inducer and will increase your odds. Afterwards silver sides and squid, clam, and cocktail shrimp would all be hardy meals for either.
 
THANKS FOR THE TIPS. UNFORTUNATELY I HAD TO UNEXPECTEDLY LEAVE TOWN FOR A WEEK AND WHEN I RETURNED MY SEA GOBLIN HAD A INFECTION AND DIED THE DAY AFTER. BUT I WILL TRY FOR THE CARPET.
