Hi everyone!
I just purchased a flower anemone yesterday as well as a gorgonian and both are looking great in my tank. I've only been in saltwater for about 3 months now so I don't know very much about growth. How fast will the anemone grow? I love how it looks but he's only maybe 1.5" and I can't really enjoy it so I was hoping he would double in size quickly. What's the best way to do this? My LFS owner said I should feed him meaty foods a few times a week which makes sense. Is there anything else I can do to get the fastest growth out of it?
 
Patience my friend! Feeding a little meaty food will help, but remember - only bad things happen fast in this hobby!

Thank you :)
I've always gone nice and slow and have had no impulse buys up until this one but I previously had done some research on them. I'll try and feed some mysis 2 times a week. I normally don't mind small stuff as most of my corals are pretty slow growers that I got as 1" frags. But I really love this guy and want to enjoy him so I was looking for the fastest way I could get him to grow healthily
