I agree with Todd.
It is well documented that a chopped up Magnifica or Gigantea will release nematocysts that will wipe out all the vertebrates in the tank other than clownfish. Somehow the clowns are immune to this. Likely the mechanism for this is the same as the mechanism that let clown fish live in the anemone int he first place.
Infected, or poorly care for anemones that died in the tank will release ammonia if not remove just like the rest of the livestock. Biomass of an anemone is a lot less than their size suggest because they are mostly water.
