'Nems and Vitamins

[radiata]

Many, many years ago (like 30) there was a product on the market that consisted of liquid vitamins designed to be fed to anemones in drops on their food. I recollect Sea Chem was the manufacturer. I contacted them last year, but the product is no longer made.

Way back then I had a Blue Carpet. It seemed to literally double in size once a week when I fed it a 1/2" cube of supermarket shrimp with a drop or so of that vitamin mix on it.

Is anyone using vitamins today on the food they feed to their anemones? If so, which vitamins work for you?

I tried some Poly-Vi-Sol baby vitamins on shrimp earlier this year, but I think I actually managed to kill a Miniatus Grouper with a feeding of the vitamin laced food. So, I'm just a bit gun shy on trying it on my anemones...

You don't need any vitamin supplement. However, if you want, you can soak the food in Selcon prior to feeding. I used to do this when feeding my gig because I wanted it to grow. I don't do it much anymore.
