how do you feed your anemone?

[OldmillXxX]

Is there anything that they should NOT eat? I have my own blend of shell on shrimp, squid, clam, fish, krill, mussel, and some Zoe. I freeze in flats (inside flat ziplok) and then cut into one inch cubes. I drop a frozen cube in the tank and as the fish pick it apart as it thaws, it will get sucked into a pump and scattered around the tank feeding everything. Occasionally, it will thaw and sink and usually gets caught by the nem and is consumed. It seems very healthy and I believe has eaten a couple of peppermint shrimp and well as a lawn mower blenny or two.

Here is an older pic of the nem and false percs. If I can, I'll get one of feeding time.

I have a sebae anemone that doesn't react at all when I put food on it.

I have tried brine shrimp, pieces of shrimp from grocery store, and pellets. The food will just sit there and other stuff (shrimp/starfish/fish) will come and take it away.

It's a crispa I think.

Pic here:

It is now much larger about 6" across and it comes out during the day.

Try a fish based meat like silversides, which seems to be an ideal food substitute for this species.

i target feed all three of my anenomes. They are all very close to the top of the water though. I use my hand for two, but the bubble tip that my cinnamons are hosing i use TONGS!!! she has giant teeth and will bite whoever tries to mess with her anenome. My anenomes have grown enourmously from target feeding. I feed them pretty regularly and as a result i went from a 4 inch wide long tentacle to a 15 inch long tentacle in about 4 months!!! it's about to have the whole 30 breeder to itself.. lol

i feed all of mine pieces of krill. this may not be correct, but they are all thriving.
