Do you cut the head and tail off or just feed it whole?
Thanks,

I do not know if it matters, in nature it is whole. It would depnd on the size of your anenome. Watch for the tank mates will steal it in a heart beat.

Depends on the size of the anem vs the fish. Fwiw I normally feed the whole fish soaked in selcon.

I forgot about Selcon. Used to use it back when. Thanks for reminding me.

I gave the bta the silversides today with the head and tail removed. It's a small anemone. It took it and shriveled up to almost nothing. Looks like crap right now. I've never had a bta before, but my crispa used to fold over when fed, but not shrivel and look like death. Still soaking food in garlic for the fish ich. I wonder if that's bugging him.
