How often and how long have you been feeding it that?

Pretty much any meaty fish food should work. I feed mine 3 times a week because I am trying to get it to split. It is growing fast.

mysis shrimp whenever i remember to feed it

Mine eats whatever it can get it's tentacles on. Ive fed it pellets, blood worms, mysis and anything meaty. Mine grows without feeding it a whole lot. It has doubled in size in about the last six months and I hardly ever target feed it. It seems to be a scavenger when I feed the fish grabbing whatever floats it's way.

I feed a piece about the size of a "cube" once a week.

I feed my RBTA (about the 7-8" across when open) a silverside every 3 days or so, and it often gets little bits of whatever else I am feeding.

Ok. Great! Thanks for the input. Sounds like everyone is doing meaty foods. I will give it a shot.

Silversides, raw shrimp from the grocery store and just got some frozen squid to try. Want to keep several different kinds of food. Use to have one (split) now I have two. Feed them every two weeks.

That would be because anemones are carnivores.

I feed my normal fish mix, which does have some seaweed in it, plus I'll give them shrimp, scallops, clams, octopus or whatever seafood I have at the time. mysis and silversides do well for most too.

I use to feed only red salmon ocean caught for its omega's but now I feed any meaty food that comes from the ocean. All raw never cooked...

meaty food is the best... but dont just feed one type of feed but mix it around like with shrimp one week and salmon the next week... etc... It will be really happy ... Good look...

 

[BairdimusPrime]

my rbta prefers scallops and mysis, my gbta prefer silversides

 

[Clownfish Depot]

I have 1 green and 1 red one. Is there a way to make/keep their nice colors?

 

[lambchops]

I feed mine half a silverside because hes still pretty small.

Most anemones would prefer finely chopped meaty foods. You shouldnt feed it large chunks of meat. It can hurt your anemone and it will not benifit from it. To keep your nems healthy and beautiful, give em' the right light requirments, quality water conditions and feed your nem apx 2-3 per week a diet that consists of finely chopped mysis, krill, brine, clams, etc.

One option is to get the frozen food already prepared (i.e. cubes or slabs). You can get a variety of flavors. I use a marine cuisine that has all the above mentioned ingredients. The food particle size is just right. I float 2 cubes in fresh RO water, rinse with tank water then suck it into a turkey baster and feed. They love it, it gives them easily digestable food and a wide variety of ingredients for nutrition.

Good luck and I hope this helps.
