This article by Robert Fenner is excellent and speaks to the dangers of overfeeding hosting Anemones:



Feeding Anemones
Thank you for the information Robert. For many years I keep this anemone now already. Either they have fed my Clarkiis or other anemone fish daily or I have taken over this part. Many clones from the original anemone have split, in the meantime, ALL clones lives by best health. I will not overfeed them certainly. Believe me, I already know what I do. The cause of a dramatic increase in lighting does not apply. The reason is very low nutrients, nothing else. Also not stress.
