I've had a bubble tip anemone for about a month now in my 30g reef tank. I have a snowflake clown and a flurry clown in the tank and the flurry has hosted in the bubble tip. Everything's been fine but today, I noticed the anemone shrunk at least half its size and I don't know why! I was looking online and read that the clown could be "loving" the anemone too much, is that what it looks like here? My flurry clown is bigger than the anemone is when it's open completely.. what do I do?!

The host anemone need to be at least three times bigger than the clownfish. Otherwise​ the loving-to-death thing can happen.

Your pictures are not shown though. There could be other problems other than the clownfish's love, such as lighting, tank mates besides clownfish, or even food.

First, have you test the water since it shrunk? What is your water parms? Second, have there been any changes done to the tank this week?
