    I fed one of my anenome's today a full silverside and about 5 hours later he is sitting there and suddenly starts spitting it out sideways. He wont let go of it though and looks like he is trying to eat it again.

    Is this something that happens if the food is to large?

    He has been juggling the silverside around like this photo for about 40 min
