Anemone Food

[woyeng**]

Can anybody advise whether anemone eat pellets ?

Otherwise, can share your methods of feeding anemones ?

Thanks much !

mysis

I feed slices of market prawn on a weekky basis.

Or you can consider getting the silver side fish.

Just gently place it near to the anemone mouth and it will grab the food. Remember not to force food into mouth.

Any seafood is fair game, including dead/ sick fishes from your tank. Just make sure the are small enough o be digested in a day or 2. Else, half digested food will be regurgitated pollution. Your tank.

Thanks for the quick responses bros.

So I gather that pellets is a no go then...

I use mysis and chopped up mussels/prawns. I think pellets may end up being either to small or too hard for them.

frozen mysis for mine

When the anemone feeds on red algae is it a sign that I am under feeding it ??

[troyjbon]

I used frozen prawn bits. But usually my mischevious cleaner prawn will steal it before the anemone closes. Thus must feed my cleaner shrimps before feeding my anemone

I use market prawn too. Mysis seems messy

try using this trick. Get a balloon stick and a syringe.

connect the hollow stick to syringe, suck in mysis from tip of stick and inject very near anemone, it works for me, never messy.
