How much do I need to feed an anemone?

[putemup]

I recently purchased a green bubble tipped anemone. The guy from the store recommended that I feed it one krill about once a week. Does that sound about right?

I have power compact lights. The anemone is about the size of a lady’s hand when fully opened.

Should be about right also depends on the size once a week should make him happy

I agree with Barbara. Had nems for years and i've never personally feed them.

Bubble tips are probably the best choice for power compacts (the only choice, really....) and you probably should feed since you're not providing adequate light.

Tube nems would be fine under PC lights (under no lighting really) but would require feeding, though don't think they eat whole bits of food.

I feed both of our RBTA's a silverside a week (1 1/2 for mine, since it is much larger). They are both under MH lighting for what it's worth. They always eagerly accept the food.
