Just my observation's imo.

So far I've fed my maxi mini carpet anemones:

1 extra large carpet- 10 mysis I found that they will release 5-6 into the water stream.

1 large carpet- will eat 4 mysis.

1 medium carpet- will eat 3 mysis.

1 penny small carpet- will consume 1 mysis.

-

1 extra large carpet- will  eat 1 piece of krill.

1 large carpet- will eat 1 piece of krill.

1 medium carpet- will eat 1/2-3/4 krill.

1 penny size carpet- small 1/4 krill or 1 mysis.

-

frozen cyplops/cyclopeze, they will not eat as far as I know.

-

1 extra large carpet- will eat a full silverside as long as it is position straight up.

1 large carpet- will eat a 3/4 silver side as long as it is position straight up.

1 medium carpet - will eat 1/2 a silver side as long as it is position straight up.

1 penny size carpet  - will eat 1/8 a silver side as long as it is positioned straight up.

I feed them 2 times a week, I am still in the process of testing 3 times a week to see if it benefit's them. Imo and in the majority of other people's opinions, it is 1-2 times a week imo. Just my observation's imo.

krill/mysis is approx 5% protein and gutted and silver side is approx 15%. wrether the protein goes by size I am still looking into.

Any other suggestion's/observation's or if I am in correct, please let me know, so we can revise and serve the salt water community better..
