RBTA food

Just wondering what the. Best type of food and the best delivery method for a small rbta. Only about the size of a 50 cent piece.
 
I use Squid and silversides in pieces. I used to not feed them at all. If you have halides they should be fine with the light source as food intake. If you plan to group your or split them then feed it to make it grow a little faster. I currently have about 30 RBTA and all are healthy.
 
I have one red rose bubble tip which will be two years old in September and a second one will be one year old in October. I recently added four green bubble tips in the last two months.

I have fed the anemones razor clam sold by the Quinalt Tribe here in South Puget Sound in one pound packages which I thaw and then cut into approximately half inch size pieces which I put into a rubbermaid container and freeze. I cut off blocks which I thaw and feed once per week. The size of the bubble tip determines how much I feed and I get used to seeing how much each will take. The smaller the anemone the smaller the food.

You could feed small cut up pieces of razor clam and feed with a small wooden feeding stick, etc. My anemones love it and when you buy them whole you will get all the high nutrition intestines and fat not to mention the high protein flesh.

I did stop at a local fish market and bought three pounds of squid. I have small fresh scallops from the grocery store. The squid meat is not as firm as the razor clam and the same with the scallops although the anemones will eat them, it appears the razor clams are their favorite.

The squid smells to high heaven when I feed it.

Thanks I am trying nems again WITHOUT the killer Condy floating around. I got a second one and placed it about six inches higher then the first, so I guess I'm grouping them now. Fed mysis shrimp last night and they seemed to like it, ill have to get clam or squid though.
 
i feed mine krill and chunks of squid and clams+scallops. like 3 days a week i need it to divide before the next frag swap!!!!!
