I am currently handfeeding my pink tip anenome freeze dried krill every other day using chopsticks. I have tried this with the curly q anenomes in my tank very unsuccessfully... Any feedback appreciated...

Have you tried feeding it anything else?

They are grabbing other random floating food... I just don't know what else to try as they can't seem to grab things out of the chopsticks... open for any suggestion, or will they be ok from the leftovers the other fish don't eat.

The left over fish food should be enough. I used to feed mine when I didn't have many fish, but they never really took anything either, only on occasion. See how it goes with just letting them eat left over fish food floating in the tank. If this doesn't seem to work for you, try using a turkey baster and squirting food through the tentacles. Most anemones do better with catching the food as it flows through them rather than having it "force fed" as you would with the chopstick method. Both work, depending on the anemone, so you may have to try the other method.
