What do you guys feed your RBTA, I spray some brine shrimp on mine a couple times a week, should I feed it something else?

Small things are best, defrost some mysis squirt it on it. Big things like silversides, probably not the best, ESPECIALLY for these smaller ones.

Right, I don’t think @ashburn2k sold one from this chain since he’s not in the dbtc. It was likely just his own.
Sorry for the confusion, I just bumped into here and wished I kept mine even when I had. No clown hosting in the nem, and yes I didn’t get my nem with dbtc, I’d pass it down to another member if it was in the chain.

I give it small piece of raw shrimp every other day.

I been doing frozen brine shrimp and mysis but I'm not getting much of a reaction. I heard silversides are good, but I don't know where to buy them, and you have to deal with the bones?

also i heard that if you feed it more, or your clownfish is bringing food to it, it will grow and split faster

There’s no real need to feed it. It gets enough nutrients from the light. I used to feed mine small pieces of shrimp regularly but it didn’t grow more or split more often. Now it will get bits of LRS that I feed to the rest of the tank.
