Clever tool to feed anemones, eels, etc. What is long that can feed them?

I'd like to find out what else to feed the anemones that won't break the bank.

It is not necessary to feed them at all.

like ping said, it isnt necessary to feed them if they are healthy.

if they are bleached, they must be fed until they have a chance to recolonize their xooxanthellae and can get food thru photosynthesis. if this is the case, small bits of food like krill or mysis. remember that they can catch the food you put in for the fish, so if you just put that food in the tank near them, they will get fed.

I just use a turkey baster with mysids to directionally feed the anemone. Like it has been said (several times) it is not necessary but it won't hurt as long as you don't over feed. Whatever the anemone doesn't catch will be eaten by the fish.

Cool, thanks for the great ideas~! I am going to find a straw broom!
I really like that idea and can see it working well.

I also have a snowflake eel that can benefit from target feeding as well. Thanks for all your help.

I use these - cheap from Petco - other local shops may carry them as well. They reach all the way to the bottom of my 29" tall tank. Not great at grabbing big things but can use to feed silversides, chunks or upwrite frags.
