How much and what to feed red bulb anemone?

[BlackTracet]

So I've been reading about how to care for this invert but it is unclear to me how much to feed it. I have given it some small pieces of mysis which it has readily accepted. But how often and how much. And what else and how much? Drew attached pic of this gorgeous specimen. Thanks.

You shouldn't need to feed a healthy anemone. It gets the majority of its food from light. It will get some of its food from the water column so a few pieces of mysis here n there is fine.

An occasional feeding of mysis is more than adequate and as long as the lighting is sufficient feeding is not really needed. One of the biggest problems I see is people trying to feed a new anemone too big of pieces of food and not give them time to settle in.
