I got this BTA back in August and it’s grown a bit too. Overall it’s pretty healthy. Sometimes at night after I feed it though, it will just throw up all the food completely undigested.
The pic I attached is currently right now and I fed the BTA 9 hours ago. For it’s size, I would assume it would be able to easily digest the small amount I gave it. Usually when I feed like two pieces of krill this doesn’t happen. I’m just wondering why it does though.

Oh my bad. I’ve also tried brine shrimp, Rod’s, and pellets. I’ll usually feed the BTA 1-2 times a week

Remember an anemone only has one "port". Everything goes in and out there.

My suggestion is to not feed at all. It is not needed. They randomly end up with food and can survive just fine on light alone. Feeding to much can and will stress a nem out.
