mysis shrimp for anemone

[sal713]

I bought frozen Mysis shrimp to feed my anemone like you guys said. It came in 3/4" cubes. What is the proper way of feeding them?

use a turkey syringe (not sure if that is what it call), the long thing that you use to put sauce to the turkey.

I agree, using a turkey baster is the easiest way to go. Let the cube thaw in a small amount of water in a cup or bowl then suck it all up with a turkey baster and squirt it into your anenome.

cool...near its mouth or on the tentacles? (had to make sure I got that spelled right)

I always drop it on the mouth, but if it's healthy it will grab it with it's tentacles too.

Turkey baster is the correct answer, however if you have shrimp in the tank like peppermints they will steal the food right from the anemone so watch out that they get a share of the mysis as well.
I like to thaw a cube with some tank water, rinse that and place a few drops of Selcon or Zoecon with it to soak in, then add some more tank water and feed the anemonies in my tank.
