    I have an RBTA hosted by a gold striped maroon clown. The anenome is 6 inches in diameter roughly; and always happy. I want to spoil the bugger and give him a shrimp.

    I have frozen uncooked shrimp; approximately a cm in diameter. They are farmed pacific frozen shrimp. I am wondering if my RBTA will consume a shrimp; preferred uncooked or cooked in water; and how much of a piece of shrimp it will eat.???

    pleASE HELP..

    I feed my Duncans shrimp every few days. Same thing, uncooked grocery store shrimp I keep frozen. I slice off a thin piece like slicing garlic. Im sure your anenome will love that, then take a big dump hahaha

    It is a dry heat, yeah right !
    Uncooked is best and only a very small piece as in 1/4 of an inch.

    Scallops, fish and clams all on cooked work as well. Small pieces and watch to make sure the anemone does not expel the piece back into the tank to rot.

    If your anemone is large and doing well it does not need to be feed routinely, if lighting is adequate.
