So I have a pair of maroons that love to feed my RBTA my PE Mysis, as I feed PE usually once per day; sometimes skipping a day the RBTA ends up eatting sometimes 5+ nice sized mysis a day. Is this a problem? I generally dont target feed it as of lately because it already gets alot of PE. Other than the feeding it seems healthy but it is changing from mostly rose to like 70% rose 30% green, though that could be my new geisemanns.

Edit: Also, I feed probably a dozen or so pieces in one sitting because I have a few other PIGS of fish in my tank. Namely a Midnight Angelfish and a Undulated Trigger
 
If the anemone isn't hungry, it won't eat. Don't worry about it.

Beware that Undulated trigger. It will go postal one day. Meanest fish EVER.

Hah, so I hear. Hes been a lovely fish so far, hasn't shown any aggression and is quite passive.. If anything my angelfish harrases him haha. Mainly got him because of price, he fits my tank/inhabitants well for now, hes a good cleaner, and I saved him from petco. Here in the next year or so I will find a better home for him or move him to a larger tank.
 
I don't think it is a problem but if you are at all concerned then spread out the mysis and give the other fish time to eat what you are putting in the tank. The clowns aren't really feeding the anemone, they are trying to store excess food that happens to disappear before they can come back for it. :D

The anemone looks great!
 
Finally home, figured id post up a pic
