mini carpet anemone questions

[Kahuna Tuna]

I just picked up several mini carpets and was wondering what everyone feeds them. From the information I have gathered so far it seems they eat small food particles like cyclops.

I have a few and really enjoy them. They're very hardy and good eaters. I feed mine bits of thawed krill and scallop.

I feed my maxi-mini anemone once a week on a small chunk of fresh tuna (about 1cm cube) or a small piece of prawn. I don't know if thats the right thing to feed it but it has a voracious appetite and seems to be growing quickly.

They do grow quickly and split often, you can feed them a variety of things from mysis to krill, or any other fresh sea food you see at the counter in the market that is of the appropriate size.

I would avoid frozen silverside pieces, while I have never fed them I have heard plenty of problems comming from them being fed to anemone.

I feed my mini maxis krill or mysis normally.

Bits of whatever meaty fish food I have, or a tiny bit of shrimp.

I feed mine mysis.

In the nature, they eat krills and shrimps

Red, they max out around 5 or maybe 6 inches across, and no they aren't host anemones.
