Lets talk anemonies

Do you feed it to them fully frozen?

Yes, I take a frozen cube, cut it in half, and use a pair of long tweezers/ tongs to feed the nem. I place the frozen food around the anemones "mouth" and wait till the tentacles wrap around the frozen mysis.

wouldn't the cold hurt the nem?

No, I don't think so... it has never bothered any of mine.

Keep in mind, once frozen food hits 80 degree water, it will not stay frozen for more than a minute or so. By the time the nem has the the mysis in its mouth, it will be melted for the most part.
