Default Food for my BTA

I figured he would need a few days to settle in so I haven't bought him any food yet. What is a good product to buy for feeding my BTA? Thanks.

Got clowns?...they will take care of feeding the anemone. I never fed mine for years, then when I finally decided to, it outgrew the tank.

Thanks everyone. I think, until my clowns host it I will have to give him something. I was thinking on grabbing some mysis today while getting water for a PWC, but I didn't want to pull the trigger until I got some advice.

On a side note, my large clown came up and inspected the BTA today, he stayed around for about 15 seconds then swam to catch up with his partner. I was sooooo excited, I yelled for my wife to come see. haha
