A variety of foods will end up showing you the best results. Aside from their planktonic needs, its good to feed them larger meaty foods as well.Shrimp/fish/squid/just about anything that is 'fresh seafood' will do just fine.
I feed silversides and frozen shrimp to mine.
A example of feeding silversides -
Take a full silverside out of the freezer. Thaw it by running warm water over it for a few seconds. Cut the silverside into small chunks (quarter inch pieces usually work well). Then just sprinkle the chunks over top of the anemone and it will grab them and pull them into its mouth.
Feed them about every 3-4 days.

I would only attempt one if you are sure you know a lot about them. Make sure your tank is established very well. The longer you wait the better you'll be.

Is the silverside just for carpet anemones? What do you feed condi's - long tentacled ones?
I bought two on Saturday and one looks so healthy and robust and the other one is beginning to shrivel. I wonder if something stressed it or if it isn;t getting enough to eat.
