I just bought an amazing new RBTA, this thing is crazy florescent. Im curious to see what you all feed your anemones, or the best way to get growth out of my RBTA. As of now I'm feeding frozen mysis shrimp daily.

The picture does not do any justice, and when their under LEDs the color is insane!!

When I had my rbta I used to feed it silversides. It ways seem to eat it with no problem and the growth was great...
Btw that's an amazing looking anem. Where did you get it from?

I have heard bad things about nems and silversides. I feed mysis and other meaty foods. Small pieces only :)

I have heard of a few BTA dieing as a result of eating silversides. I feed mine a mix of muscles, oyster, and shrimp that I buy at my local market and chop fine then freeze into cubes in empty mysis trays. Good looking nem.

Alright thank you!
I actually got it with a pair of black ice snowflakes from a wholesaler. Traded some coral and didn't have to throw down too much money

I feed mine mysis every now and then. I'm still not sold on the feeding. I had a green one that got really big and I stopped feeding and he stopped growing so fast. Also stopped splitting. But I vote mysis. Less likely to spit it out.

nice nem!
I like to give mine fresh or frozen shrimp from the store the same kind we eat. just make sure it isnt pre-cooked.
I get them fresh and use the eggs for coral food and the shrimp for fish and nems
