Hey Dad,
The sliming you observered on your LPS when feeding is a good thing. It's the coral trying to catch as much food as possible. However, certain kinds of sliming in SPS can indicate stress.
As for people having issues with the reef-roids products on anemones. I'm very surprised to hear that. We have a several kinds of anemones in our tanks including bubble-tips and carpets with no problems.. Everything in Reef-roids is completely natural and would be find in natural reef environments where your corals come from. I would suspect that something else is causing the anemones to be upset.
At the same time, anemones feed differently from filter feeders, Anemones are used to catching relatively large pieces and moving the piece to the mouth. If directly fed, the much smaller particles of Reef-roids will likely adhere to almost all of it's tentacles. It is possible that the best way to those small particles of food into it's mouth is by contracting all of the tentacles.
Anemones need meatier foods - they aren't filter feeders so it would be tough to for them to even eat the small sized Reef-roids.
If anyone has any more questions I'll do my best to answer them.
Cheers
Dave
