Your supposed to feed them? I've had a LTA for 9 years and I have never once fed it. It has never ate any of my fish either.

You don't " HAVE " to feed them. Like other corals they will get nourishment from the NO3 in the water, and also from the light. If you have clowns, often they will feed the nem for you, and it will also feed on the clown poo, and fish food that floats past. Not sure about LTAs but with BTAs, if you feed them they get big fast, so if you want a big BTA feed it.
