    Hi,

    I don't know if this is in the right section, but please move it if it isn't. :)
    I just purchased a green bubble anemone last night, what does it eat?
    I'm feeding my clowns mysis Shrimp, is that okay for the anemone as well?


    Thanks

    Best thing is a good light, but silversides are good

    Actually yes I would, but I don't think I would live very long. ;D

    I'm feeding 1/2 of silversides to mines.
