To feed or not to feed anemones (bta)

[Cell]

I believe feeding, while not necessary, promotes faster growth. Also, some may not target feed the nem, but have clowns that will regularly bring it food. Others maybe not.

I feed mine once a week I found tips stay in bubble up with the feeding and color is great

I just sold 30 rainbow bubble tips to a lfs and went back yesterday and saw that the rainbows had got a lot richer in color in terms the color red. The long markings on the tentacles had turned into dots..I was feeding these regularly before I sold them, but hadn’t achieved this amazing looking pattern on the tentacles and this deeper red. He just has his lights turned up higher. He isn’t feeding them

I will occasionally see them and sometimes my clowns will feed them for me. My two rainbows still have their bubbles and they look pretty colorful to me.

With clownfish: NO
W/o clownfish: YES

I've noticed explicitly that when fed mine split every 2-3 months. I've tried direct feeding two of them and not the others and even vice versa the ones fed split constantly while the others do not. This is based direct feeding once or maybe twice a week.

Just my experience, ymmv.

I got lucky with my Ultra Rainbow BTA, my clows hosted right away and actually started bringing food to it. I also target feed it with Reef Frenzy once a week and so far it's loving it, the colors are super bright and im noticing a good amount of growth
