Got these bubble tip anemones about a week ago from my LFS and they were both acclimating really well it seemed, they both looked identical about 30 minutes ago and now this one on the right closed up a ton and the polyps look kind of shriveled. Wanted some input this is my first time caring for nems and have been feeding with Reef foundation AB+ daily. Thank you.

I agree with above.

Anemones do what they want, so just let it be.

As long as your parameters are fine, then I am sure it will open and puff back up in no time.

Don't stress it.

Anemones definitely March to the beat of their own drum. If your tank is mature enough for them and your parameters are good they should be fine. They tend to like meaty foods; if your goal is to feed them, mysis or brine shrimp are great for that. If you’d rather just broadcast something, phyto or maybe oyster feast are good so they can catch something from the water column.
 

Looking back to your reefing roots: Did you start with Instant Ocean salt?
