How To Feed A Anemone

[brendac]

I was wondering what kind and type of food Im supposre to feed a Bubble Tip Anemone?Is shrimp pellets Ok? and if so how do I give them to the Bubble Tip?

You can just put the food in the tentacles. Mine will eat pellets and krill and just about anything else. If you have a clown that is hosting it, sometimes the clown will take food and feed it. Then you don't need to do anything.
BTA's feed mostly on light. As long as you have strong lighting it will feed off of that and filter feed. I spot feed mine on occasion but I don't feel it is critical.

What kind of lights are you running? I would still feed some meaty foods once a week.

I feed my bta 2-3x/week with mysis shrimp and silver sides. I'm still not convinced that a clownfish actually feeds it's anemone. But I do know that an anemone will consume any waste from it's host clownfish when it is near it. This is a good thing!
