Food for Green Carpet Anemone

[paul]

what kind of food should I be feeding a newly bought carpet anemone?...and how often should I feed it?

 

[who dey]

When did you get yours? Does it ever shrink up? We have had ours two days and at night it does, and then back normal. White stuff comes out of the mouth??

I bought it 3 days ago. It didn't shrink and in fact look very nice in the tank. Just not sure what to feed it and how often.

Silversides, krill, scallops, about anything meaty of seafood nature. Every 3 or 4 days more or less depending on how fast you want it to grow. They can outgrow a 55. What species are we talking about?

Thanks Thomas. I got some krill and silversides. Shall try it out tonight. Mine is a 90 gallon tank. I was hoping my clown will snuggle in it but it doesn't. On well, the green carpet is still beautiful on its own.

Sure go ahead and feed him.
Love to see a pic of it
What type of clown?

 

[paul]

It's a Percula Clown. I ahev it for about a year. Maybe it has lost the instinct to go towards an anemone.

It can take a while. Give him time. My maroon clown took about 4 days to even notice my new green carpet. Then he took to it like gangbusters. Way cool....
