I have a green bubble tip anemone in a 20 gallon tank with a five gallon sump. Got it last week. I got back from school today to see algae growing on my tank. I cleaned all of it off, ur when I noticed my anemone, I didn’t feed the fish. They fish/skunk shrimp were fed frozen bloodworms yesterday, that were thawed. I don’t know what to do. I turned down the lights to moonlight and added more rodi water. does any have suggestions? Will be monitoring my email.

I would not be concerned. This is normal anemone behavior. If it has a gaping mouth, junk coming out of its mouth or becomes unattached then that’s more concerning.
