I have these 2 anemones sharing same space, and they have shrinked quite a lot.

What is happening over here?

In the picture the right one had the spot initially for 3 weeks, now the left one decided to come there.

How old is the tank? What are we looking at in terms of nitrates and phosphates? It could not be at the fault of the anemones, more instead, the parameters.
 
Temp 25c
Salinity 34ppm
Alk 8.5
Cal 440
Mag 1400
Phos 0.15
Nitrate less than 10ppm

Tank age 1yr

No Biggie. I had one move to same rock and 9 days later continued down nearby and makes sense as I added flow

Wondering about light also as they are on the bottom and look pale . Mine love it up high under 350+ par and are all over each other. 20220614_104426.jpg
 
I am using Prime 16HD Reef, and this is a Waterbox cube 10. The lights are currently on the low setting (Saxby), as I thought I was giving it too much light.

That should be enough light I would think. They just look pale but it could be the lighting and camera. I would just keep an eye on them and let them find their spots. Touching each other should not be an issue. I'm no expert but I started with bubble tip nems before coral 7 or 8 years ago and mine have always been touching. Not just clones from splits but new additions as well.
 
This is new picture, hopefully clear one this time
