I posted not to long ago about my anemone looking horrible and he has since improved in color and shape. His size is still small meaning only about 1 1/2 inchs. I have noticed when I feed my crabs will pick the food off the anemone before he can wrap it up and leave him with no food. So what do I need to do about this without over feeding to try to keep the crabs busy while the anemone eats. Not to mention I have a sallylightfoot who is a pest and im taking him out soon. The anemone is actually on the bottom of a rock and i noticed he is not actually in direct light, is this going to affect his healing? Wouldnt he be more comfortable in direct light? ANyway about the crabs im tired of letting my clown fight off 6 crabs just so his wife/husband can eat...

try target feeding the crabs some krill. this will keep them busy for awhile. if the anemone s hiding, you may have too much light for him.
