Anemone crab question

[Picasso the Triggerfish]

I heared that porcelain anemone crabs are filter feeders. This means that they don't need to be fed? If I need to feed it, What I feed it to it, how much and how many times per week? I really want one of these guys, specially now that Im planning to buy a rock flower anemone

I believe they can survive mostly off of filter feeding from experience. However, mine throw their claws up to try to grab food passing by every feeding. I try to target feed once a week or so but they have very weak claws so sometimes can’t even take the food directly out of a baster. I do however see them wonder away from the nems to search for food.

I honestly have never seen mine eat. He has been in the tank for a year!

They filterfeed off zooplankton and pytoplankton in the water. Feeding is still a good idea. Just what you feed corals. coral frenzy, eggs, reefroids, etc.
