I bought some shrimp & scallops blended it together. I purchased this ice cube tray that makes 60 cocktail cubes and I mush 2 up with some warm water to defrost the food. Then I use a big turkey baster and feed it directly. The anemone will always take the food and curl up and eat.
I also feed the fish flakes and bloodworm so it probably gets a little of that as it floats around, not really sure if it eats it though.<HR></BLOCKQUOTE>
Its still early but luckily, my anemones are doing great. The Sebae has turned to a darker tan color which I take it to mean that it is getting healthier. The Bubble has found a shadier place to hide and continues to extend. The Long Tentacle still maintains a green tinge which I take it to mean that it is healthy. All 3 are eating well (thawed shrimp and scallop) and extended during the day.
Got 2 new False Perculas. They first took shelter in the Sebae Anemone on Day 2 and in the past few days took shelter in the Long Tentacle. Today, they are swimming in the Sebae again. It'll probably be a few more days before they decide on an anemone of choice. They are ignoring the Bubble for now as it is the smallest of the 3 at maybe 2" in diameter while the Sebae is about 6" and the TLA is about 4".
Now that I have the clowns, it will be harder to feed the anemones. I may have to mash up the food and feed via baster too.
While doing research on the Flowerpot coral, I ran into this website.

Unfortunately, the Flowerpot made the list. Also on the list under anemones was the Carpet. Thought you might be interested.
Oh, what about the Montipora corals. They are hard corals right? I heard they were easy to keep.
