I have a BTA & a RBTA and feed them once a week. I use Formula 1 frozen cubes (thawed naturally). Have to feed clowns before feeding them because they steal the food if they can. I cut a cube in half & feed to each. At this point if I feed a whole one they spit out or refuse it. Where I got my rose (Alvin) feeds them Formula 1 so I have done the same. So far so good.

I have 2 bta's and I was feeding once/twice a week but they are getting big and my clowns have started to feed them most days so I have pretty much stopped.

I feed them when I feel like giving them a special treat.

I feed my RBTA a little bit of Mysis every day when I feed the fish. Twice a week I give it two or three 1/4" peices of Silversides, or shrimp. Eat's every thingI feed it, it is getting huge. Wish it would split.

what method do you guys use to get the food actually onto the anemone?

I feed my 4 btas every other day with silversides or mysis frozen food and use 18" tweasers they grab it right up.

We generally feed our anenomes directly, once a week. We spear clams and/or PEI mussels on a skewer and deliver it directly to the amenome.

When we feed Mysis or Cyclopeeze (sp?), we sometimes 'shoot' it through a Turkey Baster. Mostly, we let it rely on it's natural filtering of food particles from the water column.

I feed 1-2x a week, usually by hand, right into the RBTA's tentacles.
My BTA split into 3 very small, so harder to feed them now. I'm hoping 1 will get bigger, then 1 will go to the frag tank, and one I will get rid of. But they are growing very slowly, so it will be a couple months

silversides, bits of clam, shrimp

Once a week with 1/2 a silverside.
