Feed it a mixture of Mysid shrimp,krill,silver sides,scallops,and fresh shrimp with claws guts and the works.All chopped up in a blender.Or you can feed something like Mysid one feeding and krill or scallops the next and so on.Don't feed it alot at any one feeding or it will just puke it back up later.Feed it small feedings every couple days and it will grow fast.Basicly they will eat any meaty seafood.

What he said Note that anemones don't really need large pieces, and in fact it has recently been said that small is best , because they will just spit it out later during the night.

I feed mine small pieces of scallops & prawns. They love it, but who doesn't like scallops and prawns.

I feed mine chopped up shrimp and squid once or twice a week and it has grown quite fast over the last 2 months. From ~8" to 10+" in 2 months time.
