Meaty foods means MEAT. Fish, shrimp, krill, etc. They eat meet, not vegetarian foods such as algae.
2. mushromms do they need food
They are filter feeders, thus, they do eat, but you don't have to feed them. They derive their food from what is in the water columm.

You can feed them brine, but they need more than just one food source. The more variety in their diet the better.
4. hermits, and shrimp, should i feed them an algae supplement?
Feed them the same as your fish...a good variety of both meaty foods as well as vegetable foods.

The duster is not going to move. You should place them in a secure area in the rock structure wo damaging their tubes. The anemone is looking for a good place to settle in.

I would not recommend using flake as I find that it caused my phosphate (I think you spell it like that) to go up. I feed my fish Brine, Krill and green food.
