I have research regarding this topic and I can't seem to find a conclusive anawer maybe someone can help.

I try and feed my anemone once per week - small shrimp. However everytine I feed the clowns take the food from anemone and toss it out of the anemone.

Also one of my neon blue chromsis try's to take the shrimp from my anemone. It's driving me nuts

I have tried feeling at night and tried feee everyone at the same time and I can't feed my anemone.

What should I do?

I also read that you do need to feed one if clown fish host?

Let me know what you all think

Thx
 
If your lighting is sufficient you do not need to feed that frequently. The anemone should be sticky and able to hold food placed close to it's oral opening. Try tiny pieces of raw scallops or fish placed close to the mouth of the anemone and feed the fish at the same time. Do not feed or attempt to feed so often that you compromise water quality.
What type of anemone is this?
 
Is the lighting Current LED Pro? If so that is probably not sufficient lighting to keep anemones long term.

It's a RBTA

It's an LED current orbit ic - to be honest I wish I Nevrr bought it but I didn't know any better
