Hi SRC members...

What do you feed your anemone? I was informed those dried shrimps is good but mine does not seem to fancy them.

So what do you feed yours?

Keep me posted.

Thanks a million

My opinion is that you can feed them any fresh or frozen seafood. Anemones are opportunistic feeders by nature, extending their tentacles to catch any food that they can. My experience seem to indicate that the food need to be of correct size in relation to its mouth. Anything smaller than 2 times the closed mouth is good. if the food is too big, the anemone will regurgitate the leftover after digesting enough food. This leftover should be removed at the soonest as not to pollute tank water. Overfeeding will also produce the same result.

They should be fed once or twice a week. My own gauge is to wait until the anemone releases waste after a meal before feeding the next meal. this usually take a few days, thus once or twice weekly is about right. Do note that their mouth is also their a n u s.

      FOC Coral Bandid Shrimp

      Hi, I'd need to give away my CBS named Shadow. He's a decent sized guy, been with me for a few months, a darling of a shrimp. But he's started attacking my small fish, fish have gone missing through the months, few have died the past week. Unsure him or anything else. My current fish are all healthy. Free of charge. Just promise to take good care of him. Please quarantine him first, or put him in a fishless setup for a few weeks. Self collect at Indus road. Cheers.
