First thing is how long has your tank been running and are youusing RO/DI water?

 

[Javen]

I'm using tap water with conditioner and it has been running for a month but I just put him in there a few days ago and he was doing great

You will need to use RO/DI water if you want to keep any type of corals!!! That is a must $$ will go down the drain......

Ok does a 6 stage 100gpd for $126 sound right with extra cartilages

You need to do some water changes and test all of your water chemistry. This is a really hardy anemone but your tank may not be sufficiently cycled. Judging by the diatoms I doubt the tank is really ready for an anemone.

These anemones need high lighting (T5 or MH). If this is your tank with the 2 Fluorescent bulbs, it's probably because of low lighting, and a cycle.

Ur tank needs to cycle for at least 3 months. Read up on the cycle process and dont add any life until after that

All good responses above, cycle, lights, and tapwater. Azdesert gave you a great suggestion for the filter on another of your posts
