am i feeding my anemones right?

[danrw84]

I just want to make sure im feeding my BTAs correctly, and my purple tip.
do i have to actually place the thawed krill into the anemones mouth? or can i just drop it onto the tenticlles?
on my big anemone ive been dropping it on it, and some food, brine, here and there, the smaller ones i place it directly into the open mouth. Am i doing this correctly?
How often should i drop food on them.. daily? weekley?
thanks
dan

IMO,Once a week is plenty,as long as lighting is good,water is good, anemones are also filter feeders so they get what they can
Photoplanton is also good for them

they will bring it in on their own- so just put it on their tentacles- it almost seems like you force it in their mouth- if they want it , they will eat it- also they do eat some smaller particles but im not sure how beneficial phytoplankton would be when compared to krill, silversides, mysis etc.
