They are filter feeders, You can feed them small pieces of shrimp (I do) The only bad thing about them is that they tend to move around. They will sting other corals.

Depending on which anemone they can be very difficult to maintain. There are some that are easier than others like the Bubble tip. Regardless of the anemone it is a good idea to wait about 6 months before you get one. They demand very high water quality and good lighting. As far as feeding goes it is a good idea to feed 2-3 times a week of chopped fish or shrimp.
