Can an anemone eat too much?

[klongo]

I bought an LTA from Petco about four weeks ago for $5.99. Yes that's 5 dollars and 99 cents. Figured I couldn't go wrong for that price! My GSM hosted in it immediately upon putting it into my tank. It seems to be healthy and doing well! I'll post a picture later and maybe someone can tell me what kind he is.

Anyway - my GSM steals all the food that I feed my entire tank and brings it to the anemone. I've ended up almost doubling the amount that I have to feed my tank because the anemone is getting so much food! Can he get too much food?

the only anemones I have ever seen cheap (under $10) have been condy anemones. Picture would help

They may have lucked out and gotten an LTA for the price of a Condy. Has happened before for other people, luck out with a mis-labelled animal or uninformed employee.

To the OP, if the 'nem gets more to eat than it can digest it will regurgitate it later, I suspect.

I'll post a picture this evening. It looks more like the condy on LiveAquria. However, LA says that clowns don't host in them. My GSM is definitely taking very good care of it......

I've had one clown host a condy, but it was for like 5 minutes then jumped right out..

I know when we have them in, our Condys go for $7.99 a piece so chances are that is probably what you have. Congrats on the successful introduction.

Here are pictures of the anemone - Condy or otherwise?
