Can you overfeed an anemone??


Actually can my clown overfeed his anemone?!? Anytime I feed the tank silversides, or really anything except flake or pellets, the clown will take the pieces right out of another fish's mouth and give it to his anemone. Even when I use something to try and keep him away from the others he finds a way past me to get the food.

The anemone doesn't seem to mind and its getting huge. Just hoping it can't be overfed.

Ive had my anemone eat a fish that died in my tank and it was too much for him to handle so he just spit it back out. So if your anemone isnt spiting food back out then your good. From what your saying your not even close to feeding too much.

Yeah Mine just stop eating. I have a Green Carpet and a Seabe. The clown hosting the carpet will actually take it pellets and flakes. They will ALWAY grab ahold of food but will just let it fall after some time when they don't want it.
