why is my anemone not eating

[Reefscape]

An anemone has a symbiotic relationship with algae, just like corals, and that's what give them their color. If they bleach (turn white), it's usually related to the algae, and they've lost it somehow, be it from too little light.....

Its a very good point made there....What is the wattage of the lighting system your using on the tank?

WOOHOO!!! I love hearing good news. Glad to hear he is eating. Perhaps that salinity was the issue all along. It seemed he started eating after she raised it a bit.
