BTA feeding

[ducati1212]

I have a healthy looking bubble tip Anemone in my tank for about 3 weeks now.

I am not feeding him anything special. I do aim some frozen mysis and other normal frozen food over him at normal feeding. I have no idea if he eats it.

Am I supposed to be feeding him special? I go on vaca for a week tomorrow with just auto feeder so he wont even be getting the frozen turkey baster food

Thoughts?

As Katrina stated, no need to worry. They need clean water and moderate lighting moreso. If you have clowns in the tank, they always run at feeding to the anemone and the particles they expel while eating will land in the nem. I feed mine once a week to assure nutrients but Not necessary

Feed if you want faster growth, dont feed if you want slow growth. Either works provided sufficient light.

You do not need to feed them at all. They are photosynthetic. Just feed your fish and they will grab a piece of mysis every now and then

I have a clown he ignores it. I have a cleaner shrimp sit and pick food out of him and I just wanted a wrass swim into him and grab some food.

My clown stays right above him never closer

No feedings needed. They will catch pellets or flakes or fish poo. Enjoy your week away.

Don’t worry about it for the time your gone. I personally have many types of nems. My carpet nems are voracious eaters and won’t hesitate to take down anything unfortunate enough to land upon them. I do feed my rbta ‘s. I agree with everything everyone else has mentioned but I’ve had great success with giving these guys some krill once a week. If they don’t want it they’ll simply refuse to eat it. A nem your size may like something like zooplankton pushed its direction Clownfish also seem to have an innate understanding of how to take care of their hosting nem. On the flip side I’ve seen clownfish also eliminate nems they want gone.
