I used a turkey baster (new) on my rock anemone and squirted brine shrimp at it...it opened up really cool and ate.

everywhere i read says bubble tips are best for clowns though?
Rock flower anemones do not host clowns. A 14 biocube is a bit small for any of the host anemones. Stock lighting is too weak also. Have you considered giving them a coral to host? IMO, thats your best option.

Years ago I did have clowns wallow a flowerpot coral, the coral quit opening and died.
Sorry to hear your clowns killed your goniopora. That is a rather delicate coral, It's possible. I would suggest to reid4, a hardier softie such as palays, mushrooms or a leather. They have also been known to host torch or frogspawn, I'd would stay away from other LPS, they can be too rough on them. I have a single ocellaris in a 15. She hosts palays. They tend to be invasive so I have them on their own rock in the center. She is just as happy as when she had a bta.
here is a photo of this tank.

total hijack here but- -
I love that that clown has an ALL black face! I wish mine were 100% black but almost the whole face is orange... Still pretty but I wish she were all black like yours.
And on the hosting note, I have a maroon that hosted a medium sized hammer coral. I have heard that the hammer is easier to keep than frogspawn and IMO, it looks prettier.
