    I'm wondering what doeseveryone here feed there anemones? I feed table shrimp and silversides. However with my new rose I'm elimanting silversides due to them making a mess. Also my nems usually didn't eat the whole half of the silverside and spit it out.

    I would suggest smaller particle meaty foods. Often times large chunks will be regurgitated. Also stay away from brine shrimp as it is often higher in shell content than it is nutrition.

    Thanks Andy, I always use 1/4" to 1/2" pieces. I just hate the silverside mess.

    I feed mine once a week and they grow great and split often. I don't feed twice a week anymore due to my sunburst grew too fast and took up alot of space at nine inches.
