I do feed all my anemones. For the most part I just feed them mysis every couple of days. Amounts sort of vary based on the individual.
The two carpets I have right now are both
S. gigantea and they have been gentle additions to the reef. In fact I had a mandarin who would routinely sleep under one of them. However
S. haddoni is a different story, they can and will eat any fish who blunders into them, so caution is definitely advised.
Here is some more info about verrucae:

Verrucae: more or less ampullaccous, adhesive evaginations of the column, simple or more rarely compound, with modified ectoderm, without nematocysts in their central part. Rarely, as in Sagartia, there is no evagination, but the ectoderm shows same structure as that of the verrucae proper and is adhesive (suckers). Follow this link to find images of verrucae.

That site does have a great shot of the verrucae of
Heteractis magnifica though, that I can't pass up the chance to post here:
