Feeding anemone's

[jond]

I have a new white Sebae anemone and wondered what everyone feeds thier anemone's? I usually just try to drop my long tenticle a shrimp pellet once or twice a week.

I feed my anemones frozen brine shrimp. I use a turkey baster to get the shrimp right down to the anemone. Seems to work fine.

I have a huge Sebae that's been in my tank for ~ 2 years. It's sitting high in my tank, so it gets a lot of Photo-feeding time. I assume it also benefits from the occasional Micro-Vert that I feed my corals. I've noticed my clowns will bring back a lot of food to feed it as well. So, I don't really feed it big pieces of fish, shrimp, etc. It's apparently worked out pretty well, because it's 4-5x it's original size and giong stron for 2+ years and counting.

BTW, I seem to recall reading somewhere that White isn't a good color for these guys. This often means that they've expelled a lot of the benefifial Algae that they use for Photo-Feeding. When I first got mine, it was an Ivoryt color. Now, it's brown. You'll probably need to make sure that this guy gets a lot of light.

I believe they get enough when you feed your fish but I add microvert directly to the anenomes. I also give them a small piece of shrimp while I am feeding my starfish. They love it.

I have a bubble tip and feed it frozen Formula One two times a week. I put it into the water and the tomato clown will bring it down to him. I have read various opinions on how much/often to feed, but have read many suggestions that you don't want to overfeed. (Which is obvious) Some people say to feed one time a week, just try and see I guess...I have noticed however that if I give the aneomie too much he will just eat what he wants and the other fish will eat the rest. Good luck!
