Non Sticking Anemone?

[JD'sReef]

Real quick, my Rose BTA looks overly healthy but nothing sticks to him. I have had it for a few months, however, when I feed it, the food either rolls off or the Cleaner Shrimp just walks (swims) in and graps the silverside. There are no clowns yet, but could this be a questionable issue?
I had a green BTA years ago that I had to remove because of size. That thing would try and pull the tweezers from my hand. With the new Rose BTA, I have to place the food directly by its mouth.
What gives?
Thanks All!
J.

Not suprising really, they don't do much in the way of movement Unless pissed enough to move to a different spot. So prolly will need to feed by hand so no other inhabitants thief it. So i wouldn't wry to much. I always find feeding to be a wierd thing with anemonemones, so people do some don't.

Regards,

I *think* if an anemone is not sticky, it is not healthy due to the specialize cell that darts at its prey is not alive or functional... Any comment?

That would be my thought, the major worry here is it's not liking a sopt enough to attach itself!
