I have been feeding my bubble tip anenome silversides for the past few months, and is doing fine. However, the LFS does not have any in stock right now. Can I go to a grocery store and buy some cod, or halibut or tilupia and feed chunks of that to him?
raw shrimp.
cheesy low grade grocery store has no shrimp. anything else?
do they have frozen raw shrimp? you can use that.
Found the frozen raw shrimp. Do I have to rip the shell off, or can I just toss the whole piece in?

I would remove the shell.
If you really want to find fresh shrimp or even silversides
Head to T&T. They carry many fresh sea food delicasies.
I learned a lesson today. An anenome does not need one whole shrimp. Next time, I will remember to cut it in two. I dont think it was happy. Its full, but likely not happy.

Ahaha yeah I found that out when I first started feeding mine shrimp. I usually cut the shrimp in 3 myself, depending on their size :)
Frozen mysis and krill will also work.

I don't even feed mine they eat whatever I feed the tank, I don't give them anyting special
I feed mine 1/4 silversides per feeding.
It's more than enough.
For several years I'm feeding my RBTA and Ritteri anemones with frozen raw shrimp from Costco. Probably half a shrimp per week. Never removed the shell from shrimp. I read somewhere that the shell contains elements that maybe required
During the week, my clowns share what they catch during feeding with anemones. If you have a good light and clowns, you probably don't even need to directly feed the anemone...
I feed mine fresh raw shrimp from the grocery store, I cut it up into peanut size pieces that way it's easier for them and the other tank inhabitants don steal all of it lol. Keep the shell on..
I also feed krill and I feed my fish with a turkey blaster as to not waste, with that I target feed the anemone what ever I'm feeding that day.
I feed mine Frozen mysis and krill, only every 2-3 days. It's doubled in size in under a year.
Just about 1/4 of a block, it shares the block with the Mandarin and goby.
Also Clowns feed it pellets occasionally two.
