I bought some from the Fish Store and More just yesterday. They had plenty more and it is on sale. Not too terribly far from you either, maybe 15 mins.
I feed mine Publix shrimps...

The best Mysis is by far Piscine Energetics mysis. I know Petland Dunwoody has some left, but I'm sure other stores have it too. It's whole mysis- legs, eyes, everything. They also collect it when it's feeding on plankton, so it's gut loaded. Also check the min. protein content of what you just bought. Piscine is 69.5% min protein. It's also packed with very little water, so you get a lot for your money.
If you got the small cubes, that'll work. I add a cube to a cup of tank water, wait for it to thaw and feed it to the GBTA's with a turkey baster. I also drop a bit onto my plate corals.
When I want to drop something into the tank for the clown to give to the GBTA, I use Publix Seafood Medley. Make sure you discard the cooked mussels. GBTA seems to like the octopus best, followed by the squid and the table shrimp. I cut the items up into small enough pieces for the clarkii to handle and he's good about taking 3-4 pieces over to his GBTA and tucking them in among the tentacles. I've also used silversides (left-over eel food), but the GBTA is not as fond of them. Serpent star usually ends up nabbing those readily enough.

I feed silversides/mysis/chopped shrimp to my BTAs.
When I feed my fish I use Prime Reef Flakes, I hold the larger flakes in the water the clown comes up gets a large piece than feeds it to the GBTA. He'll do that a few times before it will start eating. The BTA quickly devours the flakes. The clown gets upset when I feed the BTA some Krill by hand it usually will go in pull the Krill out then go back in a feeds the BTA again. It's quite funny to watch him care for it.

I grew a BTA from quater sized to 4" in a year on Hagen Marine Flakes.

okay, we can go back to the original deal. All I really wanted was the Bi-Guy (who is quite the social butterfly in my tank, by the way). I can return the rock and the anemone. Easy Peasy. Can bring both to the meeting Tuesday night.
One minor problem. The anemone is now on the move. He's now actually on the underside of a rock that is the ceiling of a deep cave in Loren's tank. I don't know why he'd go in there or when he'll come out.
