Anemone poop. Really?!?

I have a Haitian purple condy anemone that poops copious amounts, like have to syphen it out daily, copious amounts. It has found its' spot in the tank and fortunately the poop settles into one corner of the tank underneath the filter intake.

Am I feeding it too much? I feed 1/2 a cocktail shrimp weekly.

It doesn't need to be fed. The clowns take care of it. And no I've never lost a fish to it either.

you don't need to feed your anemone.. I don't think there is anybody feeding the ones in the wild

So as Murphy would have it, the anemone moved the same day that I posted this thread and went into hiding after being torturously force fed. Now I imagine myself as Kevin Spacey in the gluttony scene from Se7en.

It just came out today in a well lit but inaccessible feeding spot. Well played anemone, well played.
