What would you say is the best to feed a LT anemone if I get sliver sliders the bag never re closes right and then gets freezer burn.... could I just feed it raw shrimp from like wal-mart or smiths? what do you feed your anemone.

There are a few homemade food recipes here, I just can't remember where they are. But just about any raw seafood if chopped small enough will do.
I take some raw shrimp clams scallops squid any non oily fish any chop it real small and put it into a baggie then the freezer. When its time to feed just break off a piece and let it melt in some tank in a plastic cup. Then with a turkey baster I sqrirt it around its mouth. Formula 1 frozen food works also. Hope this helps
P.S. It looks and smells nasty but the anemones love it and if its small enough the fish will eat it too.

FWIW, I am fairly confident that that anemone is an E.quadricolor, AKA bubble tip, AKA BTA which is a naturasl host for maroon clowns. If you could get a pic of the underside of the oral disc, I could confirm. For feedings, there is a commercial food out there that when it first originated, the guy had anemones in mind. For the most part, it has small hunks of shrimp, scallop, oyster, clam , etc, but also has a lot of much smaller particles more like what is actually found in the gut of wild anemones.
