Can Anemone's Choke?

I've been feeding my BTA small pieces of frozen scallop. I have started to feed half of a 0.5"x0.5" scallop piece and was wondering if I can feed him a whole piece now. He loves it and he expands probably 6" everyday and really happy with my clowns....

Will he choke?
 
They won't choke per se, but there can be complications that arise from feeding large pieces of food. This can range from physical damage from the food to decay within the animal's gut, since it takes much longer to digest. These two reasons are why it is most often recommended to use smaller pieces, despite the fact that many anemones can handle larger ones.
