Im thinking of getting a green bubble anemone for my clowns.
How often should i feed it and what should i feed it??

don’t feed it at all

It will get some of whatever you are feeding the clowns.
That is enough.

I feed my giant Haddonis light (XR30 Pro @ 80%) 6hrs peak a day. Sometimes I feed it a cube of frozen brine shrimps. Other than that — nada.

If it’s a nano tank you have every time you feed your fish the nem is getting scrap’s . I try and feed my bubble tips once a week foods such as
Mysis frozen / very small prawns and shrimp/ earth worms live small size / mussels chopped up frozen food / brine shrimp also believe it or not they love algae pellets and I watch them take normal flake when feeding the fish. But as above says you don’t need to feed them they get all the good stuff through lighting

You can feed it if you want it to grow and they will grow fast and huge. I purposely don't feed mine because I don't want big anemones.

Pieces of clam IMO are the best food for them as they eat fish in the sea.

What type of clowns do you have? Only reason I ask is because not all clowns willing host in an anemone. Captive bred smaller clowns can be hit or miss. I've had 100 % success with larger clowns, maroon, clarkii, and tomato hosting.
My bubble tips are under fairly high par 350 - 400 and thrive without any direct feeding. I have a blue haddoni in another tank with a clarkii and the clown does a very good job of feeding the nem.

I have two normal clowns
I believe they r captive bred
Their quite small tho. About 1~2 inches

I feed my chicagos daily. Probably like 1/4 cube of frozen mysis or brine. But I want them growing and splitting so they fill the tank
