This may sound like a dumb question, but bear with me because I've never kept an anemone before. I work at a restaurant, and occasionally, we have to pitch out borderline-safe seafood. Clams, mussels, fish, just whatever. Would it be okay to take these home, freeze them, and feed it to an anemone? Thanks.

How are they borderline? Along the lines of close to not being eatable? If that is the case, I wouldn't risk it. The amount of money saved (( a "flat" of krill isn't that much money )) would never outweigh losing an anemone to bad food.
Myself, and a few others have lost anemones to silversides, that might have been "off", so it can happen.

Typically speaking, anemones don't need to be fed. Think about them in the wild. They are not hunters. They are opportunistic feeders and can get generally everything they need from light and watever ie floating around in the water column. I rarely, if ever, deliberately feed mine and they are all (8 at last count) doing very well.

Just kidding about the rice thing... don't feed your nem rice. Where are they going to find rice in the middle of the ocean? Seriously. :lolspin:

lol waffle i was about to flame on you for the asia comment, not that i was offended, but just to flame, and saw u corrected yourself further down haha good catch.
I had a very strong feeling you were joking. Then when I saw the Asia comment, it made me pretty much crack up. I have neighbors that moved from South Korea and let me tell you, they eat a TON of rice.
This is just a hypothetical question. I'm most likely (95%) picking up a 50 gal soon that has three clowns but is a FO, so I will be changing that very quickly. And an anemone is on the top of my list.
