I am new to the anemone scene (a few months now), but I usually pour my fish food in by the anemones a few times a week so they get first dibs and then the fish get everything they miss. Mine look healthy and colorful, not sure if they would look better if I fed silversides or some other food. If you feed them too much they will spit everything out, so just make sure you aren't doing that. Otherwise if yours look healthy I wouldn't worry about it.

I've never fed my anemone besides target feeding mysis shrimp. And it's been growing quite a bit over the last couple months.

Mine loves earthworms! I also feed krill, pieces of shrimp & I'm sure it catches the live blackworms I feed to the tank. Everything gets soaked in Selcon & vita-Chem.

woah, what are the earthworms eating before they go in the tank? That's interesting, but I pay too much for RODI filters to be putting worms with a gutload of fertilizer in my tank.
I feed my nems less than once a week, but my clowns feed them all the time.

in my 40breeder i feed my GBTA and rock flower nem about 3 times a week of brine and pe mysis shrimp.. i target feed them..
in my nuvo 4 i'll just be doing feedings of 1 per week of pe mysis or brine..
but u can get away with not feeding ur nem.. he'll just feed off the tank..

They are farmed worms I buy at Walmart. Even the ones I find in my backyard, have no fertilizer in them (other than fishtank water 
)

I thought I lost that nem. Got it from Happy Corals at 2", then it disappeared for months. One day, I saw a tiny nem about 1/2". It hadn't died after all! That was about 6 months ago. Now, it's about 5" across.

dirt is dirt, but I'm not questioning your methods. I love the unorthodox stuff, but you do have pretty consistent algae issues, don't you? Perhaps the terrestrial creatures are bringing more into the tank than you suspect.They are farmed worms I buy at Walmart.

Regardless of how organically farmed and manicured the worms are, they still have a belly full of dirt. In a game of tds in the single digits, dirt isn't part of the menu in my tank. It's a cool idea though and I would love to see a video of that. Blood worms give me the herbie-jeebies. . .

LO, I don't even rinse the dirt off the worms, just shake them off a bit. 1 worm-dirt in a 90g, ain't gonna hurt nothing.
0 algae in any of my 7 tanks.
