They don't need a lot to eat. Best chance for survival are:
excellent water quality excellent lighting (t5 or MH) food In that order. They will pull meaty scraps in as you feed your fish. Also, don't be surprised if he deflates entirely with a brown mucus coming out of his mouth soon. That's his way of making a doo-doo. Chuck |

Feeding your anemone is fine. I do that all the time. A few times a week is ideal, in my opinion. Just watch the water quality.

They start to decompose,get small and turn slimy and if removed do smell badly like any dead thing.

If it dies you should remove it , it will pollute your tank and likely spur a cyanobacterial bloom

I had a condy anemone that killed every fish in my tank when it died. I won't have anotherr anemone in my tank. In a 24 gallon tank, things go wrong quickly. When mine was alive it also would not stay put and ended up moving corals and being a nuisance.
