Anemone Advice

Sorry if I spelled it wrong. A friend of mine was taking down a tank and gave me 3 very small anemones. I don't know how to care for them and he will not be home for 2 weeks. I think he said they were 2 flower and 1 rock anemones. Any advice would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
If needed I can try to post pics

Looks to me like you have a condy or sebae anemone. Looks more like a condy.
Try feeding it meaty foods, if you have any selcon, zoe or zoecon then I would add a couple of drops to the food as well.
What is your lighting? watts? filtration?. How long did your friend have the anemone's?

Sorry! I said I think that is what he said they were. Can you I dentify for me. I have 130W PC, wet/dry sump, Remora skimmer, and 20# LR. He is a new friend and I don't know how long he has had them. He dropped them off with my wife early today and she did not ask any questions. Also total water volume in my system is 45 gal.

We must have been posting at the same time. Also how often should I feed. I do have Zoe and frozen meaty food. Do I need to spot feed or will they feed when I feed my fish
Thanks,
