RBTA - what and how often do you feed

I feed my two rbta's and a LTA a pinch of food each almost every other day - I feed them directly with my index finger and thum holding the pinch. Are these anemones gluttons? They don't seem to mind this quantity of plankton, mysis or bloodworms. The one rbta does have an anemone crab who may grab some of the food, but the other `clown resident' bta's don't seem to share much with the fish.

I used to feed mine, but quit direct feeding probably a year ago. Since he is pretty close to the surface, i just dump my daily feeding of mysis over top of him and the anemone always catches some. And since the clowns are out eating in the water column, he gets a chance to eat what he catches. I just have to make sure there is enough shrimp to go around!

You're welcome

I haven't target fed my BTA's in years. Nor do they poop like Bev's ! Well, not that I have ever seen. Quite likely the hosting maroon pair takes care of the poop if there is any, the female definitely brings back enough frozen to feed it.

Really? Would the clowns eat the poop from its host BTA?
