What do you guys feed your anemones?

[MGT]

Bought several recently including LTA, BTA, and H. Malu (Yes, different tanks). Having a little difficulty getting them settled in and eating. What do you guys feed them?

Thanks,

Marc

MGT,

Thank you for your post. At our Aquaculture Coral & Marine Life Facility, the Anemones are normally fed pieces of Silversides and chunks of uncooked shrimp. Most of the Anemones we offer in the Diver’s Den are fed once a week. If you have any additional questions, please feel free to let us know.

I've been trying raw shrimp so far, with so-so results. I will try the silversides and see how that turns out.

Thanks,

Marc

How about pre-boiled shrimp soaked in vitamins?

Dickhordishay,

Thank you for your post. Cooked shrimp are not considered a natural food source. Therefore, it is not a preferred method for feeding an anemone.
