I bought a green bubble tipp anemone about a week ago. It's in a 34 gallon solana with 14k MH and two clown fish. I have a few other corals but not many.....i want to stay away from adding chemicals to the tank becaus of bad experiences in the past. My question is in the past couple of days it seems to be shrinking down more/looking sickly then it bounces back. I know it will do this when it's pooping, but it seems like it is doing it at other times as well. Is this normal/alright...it's my first anemone?

Any tip on salinity level that's favorable or water temp?

The clown fish its hosting is like what the hell.

How old is the tank? You should not add chemicals for an anemone. Good water quality, decent lighting, and feeding are important for an anemone's health.

Do you feed the anemone?

This link has info on reef aquarium parameters (yours should all be in the normal ranges):
