Some clown fish will feed their host. Some don't. I have seen both. If you want your BTA to get bigger, you may want to direct feed them. Some people don't feed their anemone because they don't want theirs to grow any bigger. I assume your light can sustain them without direct feeding.
BTW, I saw your real time PH stat and it was at 7.7. It's a bit low even after the light out. You might want to bring it up a little bit.

i feed my RBTA's once a week, half a silverside, but i have seen my clowns feed them as well. If u want them to grow and be healthy i would feed them as well.

I used to feed my BTA's but I haven't done it in years, in that time they have multiplied many times over, I am sure they would grow faster and larger if you feed them though.
