I would never ever depend on my clowns to feed my anem anyway. Give it small whole silversides, squid, chopped mussels, oysters, or scallops . You can also puree any of the above ingeredients in your blender along with whole fish, selcon or other vitamin additive and plain gelatin. Freeze the "goop" in ice trays and give it a small amount a week.
what sort of anem do you have mate?
cheers and hope this helps

p.s.
I mostly feed mine small whole silver sides and the tank gets doses of cyclopese and phyto a time or two a week.

Does it have multiple mouths? And on a different note the tang looks a wee bit thin in that shot.

perhaps it is just the angle.

It looks like a Condylactis to me, but I'm not 100% positive.

[clown-lover]

While this is true in the wild our tanks can not deliver the type of environment that they live in, the amount of food that swims/floats past a nem in the wild allowing it to fend for its self would just pollute our tanks.

No big deal on the info we all start somewhere just thought I would explain a little more as to why it doesn't work in our tanks. By your LFS guys theory we wouldn't feed any of our corals since food isn't dropped within inches of their polyps either but we have to do so in order to keep them alive in our tanks.
