Feeding While Being A Host?

Can you still feed the anemone while a clownfish is hosting it? Anything difficulty feeding the anemone?

There usually isn't a problem although some clowns will remove the food from the anemone. The clown will probably return to the anemone when you get close because it's safer there.

Anemones are mostly water so don't feed them too much. My S. gigantea is about 18 inches across and I feed him every 3 days a piece of seafood as big as one segment of my little finger.
Well fed clownfish should not interfere with feeding an anemone. Infact, most of my clown fish after they are full will bring larger pieces of food to the anemone. I have read that larger clowns like Clarkii or Maroon will drag fish and feed them to their anmeones.

My female ocellaris tied to do this to a skinny foxface once.
