#ed_op#P#ed_cl#About once a week is fine... maybe twice a week if you really want to. Keep an eye on your clowns. If they host the nems, they may feed them for you.#ed_op#/P#ed_cl##ed_op#P#ed_cl#My clown was hosting a fake nem, andhe fed it every day! He took the first piece of food I gave him and dropped it in the nem. He recently hosted a real anemone, but he isn't feeding it yet. I have fed it one mysis shrimp twice a week.#ed_op#/P#ed_cl##ed_op#P#ed_cl#Hope this helps...#ed_op#/P#ed_cl##ed_op#DIV#ed_cl##ed_op#/DIV#ed_cl#

As stated, once or twice a week should be fine. Condi's have no naturally occurring symbiotic hosting partners (none that I'm aware of anyhows), but that doesn't mean it can't or won't happen for you. They are notorious roamers though, and should be watched around other coral.
