feeding of anemone

[terryansimon]

as per above...

any consequences of over-feeding/under-feeding?

are there "withdrawal" syndroms when you cut down on feeding?

[reef_dude]

I think once or twice a week should be ok to maintain. As long as the anemone is not shrinking.

yea... overfeed, too much food in stomach, anemone cannot produce enuf enzymes to digest and assimilate the food substance efficiently. as Sometimes the food might rot in teh stomach. and the anemone will expel the food.

I'm feeding mine twice a day. no expulsion of food so far. hmm.

this anemone is small. its half the size of a MD catridge...that is how small it is.

I only feed mine once or twice a month with a small piece of baby clam. But sometimes, my other fishes or even the shrimps steal the clam from the Anemone! Other than that, I often noticed that a small amount of the fish food that I feed my fishes daily usually lands on the Anemone. I guess just like in the wild, Anemone depends on the current (sometimes the clownfish) to bring food to it. It has grown from slightly smaller than fist size to 2 palm size now!
