I have this one tiny little bubble tip anemone a purple base with green tentacles. Quite a few months ago when I bought it he was looking completely different now.

This is what it looked like then.

These are two separate anemones. I took the first picture just a few days ago but the anemone in the second picture looked identical in size and color when I originally bought it.

Since this anemone has shrunk I have changed a lot of things in my tanks. Now I am dosing, adding phyto, and making sure the anemone gets a well rounded diet. But when I was keeping the small anemone nothing was out of the ordinary as far as ammonia, nitrite, nitrate, ph, lighting, feeding and all of those things so I can't help but wonder how an anemone went from the size of a baseball to the size of a penny. The little anemone is not a priority to me as much any more but I will still care for it and try and revive it I am just looking for advice on how to prevent this should it ever start happening again.

Thanks.
 
What kind of lighting and depth was it at? Obviously it looks pretty bleached but I don't know why.
