skarz Posted September 5, 2016 Share Posted September 5, 2016 Came home and my 'nems mouth was wide open so I thought I'd try feeding it mysis shrimp for the first time. The tentacles kind of 'grabbed' the shrimp and pulled it in and I believe now it's slowly sucking the shrimp into its mouth. Does this look normal? :p Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

youcallmenny Posted September 6, 2016 Share Posted September 6, 2016 It's exuding it's stomach to eat the food. LPS does this a lot too. Sebae's man... :/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
skarz Posted September 6, 2016 Author Share Posted September 6, 2016 It's weird, man. First it sucked the shrimp all the way in then is now pushing them out... And it looks like it may be sucking it back in. This is my first time feeding it so I don't know what's 'normal' haha. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
youcallmenny Posted September 6, 2016 Share Posted September 6, 2016 Not that. Seriously, everyones story seems to be the same. Just don't do what I did if/when yours starts dying and let it get under a rock and decompose. They're seriously bad news in corpse form.

matty Posted September 6, 2016 Share Posted September 6, 2016 Does it have it's foot set yet? If it doesn't, it may no eat or may regurgitate it. It's always been recommended to me to not feed nems until they are settled. Sebae's are also notoriously difficult to get settled unless the tank is very established. Good luck with it.

TaylorW Posted September 6, 2016 Share Posted September 6, 2016 They'll do all kinds of strange things, like mine occasionally deflate and I remember the first time one of mine did that I thought for sure it was dying lol. But yeah like someone else said it's a good idea to wait until it's settled. Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-G360AZ using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
