Unless your don't have sufficient lighting, there's no need to feed most anemones.

RBTA
Don't feed
Spent 3 years under 2X96 PC. ( I wouldn't recommend this, but mine thrived.)
Now under 10X54 T5HO lighting.
Used to be in a 46 bowfront
Now in a 200 Deep Dimension

RBTA in a 20H with 130w PC for 2 years and feed silversides.

Three Maxi Carpet Anemones and a Mini Carpet anemone in a 5.5 gallon with a 36w PC light and feed PE Mysis.

And no worries with the tank size that the carpet nems are in. Have a larger tank if necessary and would not advise newbies to nems to attempt it.

Cheers,
Alex

5 RBA in a 29 gal Bio Cube stock PC lighting for over a year started with only one but it kept splitting all thrived well with the whole tank being RBA's and one happy clown (definately would not recomend this to a newbie). Fed them silversides and Krill twice a week. Moved all but one 10" out this week into 30gal sump conected in a 350 gal combined system under 250w MH. The more I fed them the faster they grew and split. I feed alot less now.
