Have had this anemone for about 3 months now and it has been thriving with a perc clownfish pair hosting it. Recently I introduced Brooklynella to my tank and lost both of my clowns :(. This has been about 2 weeks now and I have noticed the BTA doing this with the tanks lights on. Right now in comparison with tank lights off, it looks like its normal self. This is new activity and I am worried it may not be thriving. I did notice a skunk cleaner shrimp picking at it pretty good today, could the problem be the clowns are now not around to keep the shrimpaway? Thanks for any info.

What are your parameters. The tank looks very young. Nems need nutrient and mature reefs to thrive.
 
If it was fine for 3 mo. I'd rule out the newish tank being the issue. I would move it if it continues to get picked on by the shrimp.
