How does your nem eat?

[xxHLTxx]

So I have 2 Nems (thanks to Saltysamurai!! ) and since I have put them in the tank, my clowns have had a nonstop enjoyment going back and forth with the Nems. Anywho... I switch up what I feed my tank and one of my products I feed is "Ocean Nutrition Formula Two". Now usually I thaw for a few and then toss it and let them pick at it. But since I got the Nems, my clowns suck down a whole cube to each nem. My thoughts are, all you with anemones out there, do you feed them or not? If yes why? If no why? Just thought I'd get a recent thought on whether we're feeding Nems or letting them feed themselves.

i feed the nems at the shop thawed silversides once or twice a week....they seem to love em...

I don't feed the BTAs at all, unless some food ends up in there by accident. They split about every 6-8 weeks. They just eat the rays from the HQI.

I keep frozen raw shrimp in the freezer. 5 bucks and last forever

I feed my RBTA a small piece of cod from the grocery store.

I haven't feed mine in over a year. My rbta haven't split since I got them. I just started feeding silver sides last week from pets mart. 10 bucks for a package

I feed mine shrimp or pieces of silversides every so often. The key in my tank is to feed the rest of the tank first, THEN the nem. Otherwise, my cleaner shrimp will steal it from the nem.
If I don't feed, the nem starts moving around the tank. If I feed, it stays put and grows faster.

The problem with feeding anemones is their metabolism becomes dependent on it and will require constant feedings to keep them happy. Because of this I do not feed my anemones.

i buy shrimp from the grocery store, fresh shrimp and i chop them up to desired size and freeze them. then when its feeding time i thaw them and feed away

I just blast Mysis/brine in my tank and usually it will catch a piece or 2 a day.

My clowns feed mine, everytime i feed the fish the clowns always make sure to give a little bit to the nems.
