Light light light! Keep the supplemental feedings to a minimum... really. When your clown starts hosting HE will feed the anemone. Once in a blue moon I will put in a whole silverside which the clown will retrieve and take to the anemone, but the single most important nutritional element in keeping these animals comes from their zooxanthellae, which require intense light. Trust me.... I've done it both ways, feeding and not feeding, and I can say the results from not feeding are working, while I lost a number of anemones that I fed.

Just my 4 bits with inflation...
