Stop feeding it. Anemone need a few key things for survival in a reef tank. First a mature tank, 6 months minimum with best results waiting even longer. This has as much to do with the environment as you the reefer. Anemone don't like things unstable. Second is strong lighting, last is correct parameters. Anything in the 5-20 range for nitrate. .1 or lower for phosphate, and in range of 8 alk. Key is stability.
