What kind of anemone do you have? Generally the best foods are silversides, squid, shrimp, scallops, small pieces of fresh fish from a marine origin.

i have a bubble tip and rose.

they were about to die because i didnt feed them.
my friend told me to get small dried shrimps you buy at the
market and just put it in their whole in the middle and they
will close up to eat it.

i did that today and the bubble seems to be coming back.

but he also told me i can use the marine snow planton too
if you guys know what that is.

OMG he is sooo hungry

Don't jam it in his mouth or that can damage it. Try and get him scallops,shrimp.anything meaty. Cut a piece about the size of a pencil eraser and i would try feeding him daily or every other day.Just try and hold it very gently on his mouth and see if he closes up around it. When his tentacles get longer you should be able to just put the food on his tentacles and he should take it to his mouth

The coral snow is no good. Anemones are meat eaters..

Good luck with him
