The more light you have, the less often you will have to feed it.
I'd say half a cocktail shrimp 1 time a week would do it regardless of lighting (providing you have reef type lighting). if you have halides you could probably feed it 1 time every 3 weeks.
Nice BTW

Anemones are not easy to keep and carpets are some of the hardest. They need strong lighting so you should probly place it high on your rocks unless you have MH. That one does not look to healthy but Ive seen worst than that come back. Carpets also like to move around more than other anemones for what ever reasons and they can kill any corals that touch them or they tough. Start reading the clown and anemone threads and you can post and learn more about them there. I wish you the best of luck because they are such beutiful animals.

IMO if you do not have metal halide lights there is very little (and I mean VERY little) chance of it living long term. But for now, feed it meaty foods like mysis shrimp, clam, squid, cocktail shrimp, etc. 3 times a week. Even if you do have metal halides, you should still feed 3 times a week.
Also a word about saving things from a LFS.
If you decide to save something, they would just buy even more to supply the demand for the animal. It is best not to save a dieing animal, even if it does die they should learn those don't sell and won't buy anymore.

Not to be rude, but why do you think you are "saving" it? Those are quite hard to keep and I wish you the best of luck, but you are only helping others to follow in its place. Do a lot of research. You will save a lot of $ in the long run, and not to mention a few animals lives, if you read about things before you buy them.
