Carpet anenome

[Taipan]

Take your time. You've had the anemone for a few weeks. If it doesn't want to accept food; I would not worry. Most of the nutrients will find its way to your anemone via either photosynthetic activity and/or the water column.

In theory; you shouldn't have to feed a carpet. Feeding it is cool and is a treat for both the anemone and its owner. It will accept food when its ready. Feedings can range from once a week to once a month.

Traditionally I've fed small bits of raw shrimp (remove the shell) or scallops. I've always been concerned with bones from silversides or other fish. My rationale is to mitigate the risk of bone puncture.
