This lead me to think that perhaps my feeding habits might be excessive or wrong.

I currently feed mysis once a day. in the amount of a tablespoon when thawed.
I toss it freely in the tank. I will follow up with either nori (1/4 sheet) or flake (pinch)

If a person were to try to starve the aiptasia out, everything else in the tank would starve too

But don't anemones generally feed on larger particulate matter? I don't know what I'm talking about, really. Just guessing
