Feeding Anemones

[chilidog]

How and what do u feed anemones?And how often do u feed them?

you can feed them pieces of shrimp, clams, or silver sides. basically anything meaty will be fine. Usually i fed mines a few pices of clam and fish once a week.

live fish ?and were do i get clams?the grocery store?

i guess you can use small live fish. I usually use silver sides or frozen guppies. I buy my clams at the store. Just cut them into small pieces. You can also use frozen squid. Soak it in some vitamin enrichments

easier way=use a skewer to feed it krill or clam. my bro once did sumthin when he didnt have krill left, he fed it zooplankton with an eye dropper.

I use frozen cubes of brine, mysis, and marine angel----just let it sit in a cup of water until it melts, and suck it up with a turkey baster (not from the kitchen!) and slowly shoot it into the anenome. If it's ready to feed, the food will stick to it's tentacles and pull it into it's mouth. Don't try to feed it if it's not open, though---you'll just make a mess!

your anenome should always be open????
but i think froxen brine shrimp and mysid shrimp are the best (especially if enriched)...then i feed it squid or clam once a month

My anenome shrinks down at night a little or when it disturbed. It comes right back after a bit.
