I dont have one now but when I did I did not target feed it. IMO they get all they need from the water column and lighting. Also your clowns will feed them too.

That Lady is retarded, she must not read up on photosynthesis. I have yet to feed my RBTA and it is as Healthy as you can imagine. Also she must no know that her clowns feed it to... Like MELOSU mention... Here is what mine look like and it's already split..

Here is is when I first got it about 5 months ago

This is today

Nice, you guys and gals are correct. If you have enough light there is no need to feed your RBTA. Feedings would help if you don't have enough light. The best way is to get enough light and let your tank do the rest.

my clowns are not playing with mine

I will let you know how it works out

I do have lots of light but I kinda alos love to see it eat a fish

Start with some silversides and feed it once a week. Use your hand to wave the sliverside on to trigger the anemones feeding response.

I give mine a small amount of brine shrimp every 2 weeks.
