Default Feeding an Anemone

Good evening to one and all, I was just wondering if anyone out there has any suggestions that might help. We have an anemone which has taken upresidance at the very bottom of our tank (200 gal) so hard to reach, Tried moveing him but he's deceided that is his spot. It is being ablely looked after by a clarkie clown, who takes food to feed it. Now heres where the problem starts we also have a sailfin who's found out that theres extra grub going and darts in and removes it before the anenome can close up.
I've tried tweezers and also a pipe with a bastor attached to feed it directly into its mouth? I've tried distracting the other fish Ie. feeding at the same time, feeding when the lights are out etc. but as soon as I go near the anenomie with or without food the sailfins there.
Sorry its a bit long winded but i'm running out of ideas. I'd very much appreciate it if someone can help.
