I feed mine anemones every 3 days, but I want one in particular to get bigger, faster. Should I be patient and stick to feeding him once every three days, or feed him every other day? Is it possible to overfeed it? I feed all my anemones mysis shrimp. Thanks in advance.
 
I feed mine about one time per week with some Mysis. Yes, you can overfeed an anemone.
 
What species of anemone?
What size tank?
What lights?

I, personally, haven't directly fed any of my 3 anemones in 2 years.

Agree with TREX. I have a 14-16" blue carpet that eats whatever falls to the bottom. Have had it for 5 years

I have a bubble tip anemone. 46 gallon tank. Two aquaillumination Hydras lighting my tank. Thank you for the advice guys, much appreciated.
 
I never feed mine and it still grows like a weed and splits all the time. Recently switched from T5 to LED and can already tell it's gotten bigger in just a few weeks. It'll split any day now then off to store for more in store credit!
 
Never....not sure if my clowns ever give it food..,never seen them do it so...
I have never fed any of my nems...and they all grow huge and split all on their own...
In fact..my current RBTA I have now have for 1year and 9 months, and it has split 7 times...and one of its clones has split 3 times...
 
Well I guess my question becomes, is there any benefit to feeding your anemone?

  • I usually learn about the demanding feeding schedule after buying the fish!
