I would only feed your fish once a day or twice a day at the very most ensuring not to overfeed. Your anemone's need to be fed some kind of meaty food once a week i.e. shrimp,krill, or silver sides. HTH

I feed mine twice a day, one in the morning and one in the evening....Each time, the food should be consumed less than 2 minutes.....

I bought silver sides to feed my new sabae anemone, what is the best way to feed it? Should I just drop a piece of it in its tentacles? also How many times a week should it get fed? Thanks

Gypsie,
Just drop a piece into the anemone's tentacles and he/she should do the rest. Once a week feedings should be adequate. HTH

Thats what I did but so far he has not eaten it. I will keep an eye on him, maybe the piece I gave it was to big! Thanks

The size of the anemone also determines how often and how much to feed.
I have 7 anemone. They all get fed every 3-4 days. some get more...some get less amounts.
IMO a week is a long time.

Try Krill or some other food to see if that works, I've also heard that Squid is part of their natural diet.

I feed a good portion of meaty foods once a day. I feed spirulina and algae type foods later in the day.
