It's best to share more photos with us -- some examples where you think it's at its best, and some at its worst. We'll be able to assess whether or not you should remove it for treatment. In the meantime, review the sticky that discusses the protocol:

Many magnifica need treatment. They oftentimes appear healthy in the store, especially to a novice reefer who sees an expanded anemone and assumes it's healthy. Frankly, it's almost impossible to tell if a mag needs treatment if it's fully expanded (and it looks great in the first photo, so maybe I'm being overly cautious). Sorry if I'm stressing you out!
Not at all, I am stressed all by myself so is not on you or anyone else trying to help, on the contrary.

But...I do want to take some action plan out of this so I don't feel I wasted everybody's time.

- I'll take some more pics and post
- No medical treatment yet and no feeding
- Should I try to move it to a higher, flatter place?
- What do I do with her phobia to flow changes. I am ok in holding back on this and let the clowns find her by themselves instead of trying to lure them with food. Concern is when is time for the next WC.

I believe this covers my questions so far.
