Clownfish feeding anemone?

First off, I cannot believe I GET to even ask this question ...but I have read conflicting information. Is he FEEDING the anemone? Or is he hiding his food there? They are in the back now so I cannot get a good look. He is very diligent in bringing something back there each feeding!

My clowns feed my BTA all the time - I think it's a natural instinct for them but you'll have to watch closely to see for sure.

Yep, they normally feed their host,... really cool. My clowns feed their leather.

My friend had a gold stripe maroon that would CLEAN his anemone, meaning he would feed it and the clown would drag the food away and dump it somewhere!! Funny to watch but frustrating for him. I'm glad yours isn't like that, maybe it's just the maroons.
