feeding anemone on vacation

How do you guys/gals feed your anemone while on vacation?

I don't have an anemone, but I use a neighbor teenager who comes in to feed my fish (and take care if the dog) twice a day. He knows to check a couple of things to see if they are changed, ie: height of water in sump, overflow, and ATO reservoir. If anything strange, he calls ot texts me.

I keep pre-proportioned amounts of frozen food in small vials in the freezer. He removes one for each feeding, thaws in the tank, then pours it in. He leaves the vials by the tank and then I know he definitely fed properly.

Last thing in my tank I worry about feeding on vacation.Not necessary to feed. I assume anemones might get some things from water column when family feeds reef frenzy to my fish .

Something it’s better for a coral/fish to stay a wile without eating than leaving an inexperienced person doing it for you. As above I wouldn’t worry about feeding the nem.

I don’t ever feed my anemones.

I never feed mine as well. They get enough with light and picking up pieces when I feed fish. I wouldn’t worry about that specifically.

I normally feed mine on weekends but they could go a month or better without a direct feeding, so I don't feed them while on vacation. BTW, what's a vacation?

Better to have someone check in regularly and trained on what to look for if something turns off. What to do in case of emergency like the anemone is in the powerhead or the ato is out of water, skimmer overflowing. Then tell them to feed once every 3 or 4 days. Don’t feed anything but the fish. Guarantee they will over feed the fish and pollute the tank.

Keep water clean. No need to feed. I never feed mine

I have 7 in my tank. 2 rbta’s, 1 LTA, 1 H Magnifica, and 3 rfa’s. I only feed the Magnifica and LTA on occasion. When out of town they don’t get fed. And when I get back, they may not get fed.
