Default RBTA dying???

the RBTA I got two weeks ago decided to detached itself today from the rock. While is off the rock, I decided to quickly look at it's month. and found there's white stringy thing coming out from its mouth, almost looks like it's the part of the organ.

it's still fully inflated, and re-attached to the rock just fine.

dying or splitting??

thanks

ammonia 0
nitrite 0
nitrate 0

a least low enough that I can't tell if there's any on the colour chart.

all 3 clowns are trying to host in the same anemone.

Default rbta

i would say probably just stressed keep an eye on it for a few days to a week to see if it gets any better , if the clowns are trying to host it thats a good thing they tend to get a distance away from them if they are dying

took this picture just few minutes ago. it looks a bit better now. there's less of white stringy thing coming out from the mouth at the moment.

so, what will be the feeding schedule??

Nice rbta! I feed mine once every week... I suspect some would say I'm over feeding. You could easily get away with once every 2 weeks... Maybe even 3. have you fed it yet? 2 weeks in us when I started feeding mine.

from the all the reading that I have done so far. it really depends on the lighting and health of the anemone. and feeding schedule can be never or as much as they can digest the food.

For the anemone guru out there, please correct me if I am wrong.

For mine anemone, I have been feeding small portions to it every other day, since it maybe bleached. might start doing twice a week feeding soon.
