Tube Anenomes

[Angeline]

Hey guys,


I recently purchased a pink tube anenome and it's doing wonderfully, but I have a few questions. Firstly, how often and how much should I be feeding it? Within the last two days it has eatten three feeder fish, which is no big deal, but this anenome isn't big either. Should I be giving it feeder fish daily?

It's doing really well and thriving and I've been doing a lot of research on them, but any personal experience and what not, as always, would be appreciated.

They seem to do much better on frozen shrimp, preferably mysis, brine, and other small zooplankton.

Nice article here:

It wouldn't eat them when I tried feeding it the cubes. I am going to try again though. I figure that marine food is always better for marine animals I did give it half a cube of frozen squid and it ate that.

The feeders weren't for the anenome, they were for another fish, but the anenome captured them both (well they were on their way out from the salt water but we all know how that is, I think they were just too weak to get away)

I will try to see if it'll take the frozen mysis and what not again in a few days. Maybe mine was just really hungry
