Welcome to R2R! I can't tell from your description. Could you post a picture of the anemone? Thanks!

Hello and welcome to r2r
Pictures will help . But for a general answer , no it’s not normal .
How long has the tank been running ? Do you have numbers for a recent parameter test ?

pictures might help

This may be a result of too much water flow. Too much flow and they detach and move, too little flow and they deflate or shrivel. Too much light and they hide and too little light and they climb up the tank to get more

Welcome! I'm Lisa. Glad you joined. Going to ask for photos like those above.

Have you considered starting your build thread? I found its a great place to document my tank's evolution for myself. I started tank first then joined, so I'm still finding myself going back collecting pictures & updating historically as well as current state. Once you create your first post in your thread and link it to your account, they will give you build badge (look left, under my ID). We love photos!

This might help you find people local to you in Batesville:

This is a good reference book type online article I still review:

Welcome to the Reef, I don't keep nems but others will hopefully chime in to help.

Welcome to R2R! Without pictures it is hard to give good advice but @vetteguy53081 pretty much covered the potential issues bases, assuming everything else in your tank is doing fine...

Welcome to Reef2Reef! Vetteguy is correct you just have to observe and make adjustment accordingly to Vetteguy's guidelines.
