I have to agree with matt on the feeding. it doesn't need alot but something. no need to give it an entire fish a day or anything. it should enjoy some mysis. maybe silver sides but they are nasty so I don't use them. you could always feed your tank heavy like I do but you may get unwanted algea.
well when stressed they normally won't except food. not saying anything about your tank at all but just make sure you have good water quality. do not get water from petmart. it has always been nasty in the past so I can only assume nothing has changed. water windmill or your own ro di. moving several times in a few weeks is stressful. you can try mysis if you have any but from my experience they don't need to eat everyday. if the krill is an inch long or so I would only try to feed it everey 3 days at most but more than likely closer to 5. that is just my experience of course and others will be different. you don't to mess with it alot but have you touched it at all since it's been in your tank? it should sting you if you touch it or feel sticky by just brushing it with your finger. if it is in the open and not balled shut all day I wouldn't worry yet. small water changes every few days to keep things more fresh isn't a bad idea.
That's awesome! I have a tomato clown that took about 2 days to discover his condy anemone (finding out later they aren't supposed to host those...good thing I didn't educate myself first 
). He loved it so much he killed it, lol, by rubbing himself all in it (big clown). So then we bought him 3 more, and he shared his attention with all of them. It's so cool to see them hosting like that, especially the first time.
Congrats!

I was about to say, I thought it looked fine! I don't feed anemones much, but rather rely on photosynthesis and residual from feeding my fish IMHO. Usually, giving an anemone less light for the quarantine period is a lot better advice than trying to slam them w/ it. If anything, tuck it away somewhere in low light and let it decide. If water quality is good, and the anemone was purchased in good health, all should be well.
thanks....he has been doing very well.. but last night he decided to change spots to the other side of the rock he was at in the picture. so he is in a small cave in the rock but the little i can see of him... he is fully open in there..
i wonder why he went in there. hope he will be back out.

Thank You...my wife has really been bothering me about it. I'll let her know all is well.
The mouth comes and goes. Somedays I don't see it at all somedays it looks like its turning itself inside out. What causes this?
