How often should a medium sized one be fed? and whats the best to feed it

i feed mine twice a day flakes in the afternoon and a mixture of mysis frozen worms and formula 2 in the evening and 3 times a week some algae sheets

I feed my tank Monday, Wednesday, and Friday with seaweed cut up into bite size pieces with scissors, freeze dried mysis shrimp, brine shrimp, and bloodworms along with Ocean Nutrition One and Two flakes and pellets all soaked in Vita-Chem, Selcon, and Brightwell Vitamin- C. After this has be consumed I dose with Kent Marine Phytoplex, Chromplex, Zooplex, and Microvert.

On off days I will sprinkle Ocean Nutrition One and Two flakes and freeze dried mysis shrimp in a much smaller quantity.

Every Sunday I feed my two six inch red rose bubble tips which just divided after two years as a 12 inch red rose bubble tip anemone, one six inch green bubble tip anemone, and a fourteen inch green bubble tip anemone razor clam which I buy by the one lb package sold by the Quinalt Tribe. I thaw and cut up into 1/2" pieces and freeze in a plast container which I then carve off a block to thaw and feed with a stick. I have had a pair of Tomato clowns for 4 1/2 years which regularly take care of a cluth of eggs on a weekly to semi-weekly basis. I have tried other sea food which was all very greasy and the bubble tips did not take well to these alhtough they wrap around the razor clam and suck it up. I them tear left over pieces into smaller tib bits for the fish.

Active fish, so multiple times is advised. It needs veggies, protein (frozen e.g. PE mysis as an example)

Yeah. I've been on the forum a while today and, for some reason, it seems a lot of fish are being underfed. Many LFS feed only a few times a week, for lots of reasons. But they don't keep fish long-term; don't follow that example. I feed a lot, not enough to leave a lot of uneaten food, I've never had an obese fish.

Try the Rogers reef food in a mesh clip. The fish can then feed off it for hours. It's so much easier then feeding all the time
