Saddleback clown won't let anemone eat!!

I recently bought a saddleback to go with my bubble tip and every time I try to feed the bubble tip it runs is grabbing the food and spitting it into the tank??? Any help would be awesome

I had that problem and switched to shrimp (Tiny) and a little tank water with a turkey baster. I will blow the shrimp into the anemone .It seems to like it, I have 2 hosting in the anemone and they finally caved. I do feed them first, then will blow the shrimp bits into the anemone.

Ok... That sounds like a great idea. But check it out. I just chopped up some squid and tried to hand feed him right, but I had to cut the pieces kinda big so that I could hold it. So he ate it and he put it down, but now it's coming back up. But my question is will they eat something too large for them to digest? And thank you for the hint I'm going to use that in the future.

when i drop shrimp in my tank, my clown grabs it and takes it to my anemone! Pretty darn cool to watch, i never have to reach in the tank to feed it, my clowns to it for me!
