I have green bubble tip sea anemones. (GBTA) I am feeding them with tongs at the moment but it just gets old trying to keep the food in the tongs w/o the other fish trying eat the food. Am i able to hand feed the GBTA w/o getting stung??
Thanks
Can I hand feed.......

I feed my Rose bubble by hand without a problem. He stings me every once and a while. It's very minor and only leave a little red itchy spot. I wouldn't worry about it unless you have really sensitive skin. Good luck

question? what are silversides? sorry but im a newby and im wanting to have an anemone too someday, but im still learning and researching before actually buying one. Are they hard to keep and feed? How are you actually feeding them? thanks

I hand feed everything in my tank when its feeding time. I always wash my hands with salt (sounds weird but ive never had a problem as long as I have been doing it) and get my food and throw half a cube of home made feast. Its got brine shrimp,baby brine, regular,nori algae,fish,and some oyster eggs. They go ape shit over this stuff. Corals LOVE IT. btw I just started hatching live baby brine shrimp....my corals are blooming like never before. Get a hatchery........its worth it!
