Anemones aren't really affected much by low calcium or magnesium since they don't have skeletons. As far as phosphates, I believe anemones make use of nitrates and phosphates as a food source.

I clicked your name and your location shows as Peoria. I know several users here in Peoria, Illinois and a few others in Peoria, AZ. I was curious so I asked. 😁
