Anemone (and me) had a rough night

My RBTA almost met its maker last night. I tried all day to get it (her) to eat, but was unsuccessful. Then last night it wilted and even started losing its hold with its foot. I had a bag ready as I thought it was a goner. This monring, it is open and not doing so badly, but my question is should I attempt to feed, or just give her a day of rest. Silversides, no matter how small will not digest and she doesn't seem to understand what to do when I target feed with mysis and a syringe. So even when it is suggested that I attempt to feed, any suggestions?

Thx

what kind of lighting do you have? they can get by without eating meaty foods, and trying to take in the food and having to spit it out may be stressing it more. if it was me id give it a break and let it be with just light for a couple weeks.
 
running 4x 96w pc (42 gallon) and was also adding a 2 x 24w t-5 so she has plenty of light

Last night I put a cube of cyclops in thinking maybe she get some small particles that way (the corals like it anyway)

Thx

TJ,

Leave it alone. Let it settles first and once it grows bigger in size and seems to be happy. Then you attempt to feed it. Feeding is optional. This thing is very temermental. It looked good yesterday and wilt today. So, relax.
