[Stephen]

What does everyone feed their anemones? I think mine is eating my fish. i'm missing two cardinal fish now.. i've only had him two weeks.

[Christian]

I feed mine krill. But they will eat fish.

[Gonzobob]

Mysis and occasional small pieces of silverside.

I have never heard of a anemone eating a cardinal but I guess if the anemone was large enough it could eat it. I have always fed mine mysyis.

[+dapettit]

Silverside, mysis, squid and krill. I feed once a week.

I feed mine shrimp and silverside. I had a nem before and two of my shrimp and a fish got to close for comfort and got ate right in front of my eyes two different time, nothing I could have done because once in those tentacles it's over.

I used to feed larger pieces of shrimp to mine, until I went to a presentation by Anthony Calfo. If you don't know who that is google it. He has been hired by countries to come teach them how to build anemone propagation farms. He said anemones will not process large chunks of food. They will swallow it and then regurgitate it later that night. He said nothing bigger than mysis should be fed them. He said that isn't even necessary in most cases, but it wouldn't hurt.
