How often do you feed your BTA?

Hi guys,
I'm currently feeding my BTA's once a week but I'm not seeing any growth, I wanted to try and get an average of how many times a week/month you feed and alter accordingly.

cheers

I feed mine twice a week.I can feed more but don't want any more.

I usually only feed weekly. The more you feed it the faster it will grow.

Back when I had BTAs, I would feed them about once a month, and the last one I sold off was about 15" across.

When I want them to grow, i feed daily. I feed the one in my mixed reef once a week.

Todd, when you first get the nem do you geed it often and then ween it off to once a month, or do you start from there?
My other question is do you ask the LFS what their feeding schedule for the nem was?
I value your advice and I thank you in advance

Never... but they seem top grow anyway.

Why is it that when you want something out of your tank it simply won't die?
Foot is right in a hole in a rock at the bottom of a pile. Tried ice, powerheads aimed at it. Now I just molest him every few days. I just poke him with the feeding stick. figure that after a while he will start to get smaller and smaller as he uses his mass to repair himslef. Also keeps him out of the light so he can't grow any more.

I pretty much start off feeding that way. Though if it is a smaller anemone I might feed a bit more in the beginning, but even then it would only be once a week. And I try hard (( and sometimes fail )) not to feed them the first week that I have them -- to give them time to fully settle in, it takes energy to digest food --- I don't want to risk any uneaten food being inside the anemone.
