Yes, I see it. The population has to be such that they cover the anemone so much that the anemone and it's zooxanthellae are hindered by lack of light.
You do however need to observe for more FW, populations can get out of control quickly. If you notice an increase in FW post again in a timely manner as to intervene before they get out of control.
