I agree. Mine do get fed and probably a little every day but I rarely (if ever) target feed mine. They only get what ever makes it past my fish. I do feed my fish heavily so, again, mine do get some food, but I am not shoving large pieces of food into them. A link that shows a few of mine (some more than 5 years.. one more than 14 or 15 years)

I think PE mysis can be a great food (high in protein) but not a sole food because I believe that they lack the omega 3s. For most anemones I feel that silversides are a bad choice. Brine is pretty low in nutritional value.
