>    3. What is the feeding pattern and best food for an anemone?

I have 2 african white anemones and I have been feeding them both
hunks of food and as a filter feeder with liquid. The pet shop
where I bought them recommended this. For the liquid diet I have
been using invertebrete food made by hawaiian marine. For the 
"hunk" food I have been using large frozen krill. The pet shop owner
said that sometimes anemones are pickey and what one of the same
species will like, the other won't care for, however, MOST anemonies
will like krill. I would like to find out what other people feed theirs
because I would like to vary the diet. I've heard of using beefheart.
The other day I took some semi-liquid red plankton made by Jungle
and squirted it by the mouths of both anemonies. I suppose they
liked it although I didnt see them wiggle their tentacles at me.
