    How often and what do you feed your bta?

    I know people that feed their anemones with big pieces of scallop and shrimp and what-not. I also know people that don't agree with this and only feed them small sized foods.

    I feed mine brine, mysis, and a blend of food that I make from fresh seafood, and I feed them about twice a week.

    How about you?

    Mostly squished wild caught shrimp, not farm raised. If its too big he usually spits it out, if its too small he goes on a rampage and explores every inch of the tank until he gets fed again. I use shrimp reguraly and supplement with any FRESH fish or shellfish I can get. I feed them two to three times a week, he probably want's a little more too.

    I feed the RBTA about once every 2 weeks. Usually something different from squid to mysis to small pieces of silversides.
    The carpet anemone is a different story ;)

    I feed mine about the same as diver, about once every other week. Small shrimp. Seems very happy.
