I was wounding if feeding my Sebae every day a little peace of raw shrimp would be a bad idea I wanting it to grow fast and take up the tank and I have one ai prime 16hd on my 32biocube running brs ab+ setting if I have the light like 6-8” off the waterline the nem is bunched up looking full if I move it up to like 12” it opens up super wide which would be best for the nem I’m wanting the tenticals to extend our long

Yes, that’s a bad idea. Once or twice a week is plenty. Eating can be stressful on an anemone, it should get most of its energy from lighting. I rarely direct feed anemones, they just eat whatever fish food they happen to catch.

Typically you get better spread and blend with the light at least 12” above the water.

I had a Seabae several years ago. Was about 5” in ida. When I first got it, within a couple years it had more than doubled in size. I only feed it once, maybe twice a week. Please do not over feed it.
