Help with Bubble tip Anemone

[davocean]

Yeah. I have been slowly upgrading over 2 years and am not finally at a point where I like all my gear and equipment. The current equipment and livestock (minus coral cost and tank and stand cost) just hit $7200 with my recent purchase of some new apex gear

I haven't even bought a controller for this tank yet!
It's on the list, like many other things...not sure if the list ever really ends...

Just saw my clownfish eat something out of my anemones mouth, I fed everything mysis shrimp a couple days ago, I guess I fed the anemone too much. Was it trying to spit it out? the anemone deflated and exposed its mouth and i saw something coming out of it then the clown went over and plucked it right out then the anemone inflates again. Is this normal?

Update on my Anemone - recently, my clown - the larger one; has been using the anemone as its bed. Very happy to see the hosting process beginning. Today, I went home and the anemone had released its self from the crater of rocks, I had put it in. I took the opportunity to move it to the sand. This was a difficult process; as my sand is about 2 1/2 to 3" thick and digging deep enough for it to attach to the bottom glass; would result in it being completely covered up. Additionally, when I tried to handle the anemone; it flattened itself out. So it was like trying to control a tumbling tumble weed in the wind. I managed to get it into the sand next to a couple rocks that form a 45' corner. Hopefully, it will settle in there and do well. It was really doing well in the crater and was surprised to see that it had released its self. Hopefully, I shouldn't have just left it alone; and let it move it's self. While moving it; I noticed the coloring has changed and its more of a tannish coloring now instead of the bright white. Additionally, it appears that a couple arms / areas have some greenish / brownish areas that look like algae (mold) had settled there or a small crab was decomposing there. Didn't get a great look at it because time was limited. Hopefully, I didn't upset it too much by relocating it to the sand.

My anemone has been on the move the past 3 days, likes a spot for a day and moves, just got to let it settle where it likes. No matter where you put it, it will move where it wants to

Bad news; I probably should have left it alone. When I got home; it was flipped upside down facing the sand. It looked like a dried up sunflower- that had not had water in weeks. In the middle (where the mouth is); was a nickel size bubble - extending out where the mouth is. Hearing the warnings to remove it before it dies; I pull the guy from the tank. It was replaced by a very looking healthy green bubble tip last night. So far the clown that hosted the Sebea - has ignored the new anemone. But its only been 12 hours - hopefully they will pair up soon. Thanks everyone for their help. Will keep you updated on the tank. Additionally, I had my water tested by the LFS - Saturday and was told its prefect - all levels were zero's.
