I feed my Haitian raw table shrimp. I used to feed my rock/flower shrimp too. They love it and I treat my engineer goby and coral banded shrimp a little chunk while I'm feeding the anemone... is yours getting good light? also, is the mouth open or closed? It might still be adjusting and not be hungry yet?????????

The Sebae anemone will do fine on just the lighting for nutritional needs provided by its host zooxanthellae. Also anemones feed on nitrates and other dissolved organics. The need to target feed the anemone is not necessary!!! I have a Pacific Long Tentacle anemone and I feed it krill once a month or so and it is thriving!!!!!

I would say it will be fine, especially since it will move if it doesn't suit its needs!
