Does this Anemone look ok?

I got this little guy about 3 weeks ago and he has started to grow a little but not much. I feel like the tentacles were longer when I got it. Is it sick? Am I overfeeding or underfeeding??? Just need to know. Thanks

Looks like a gbta. It looks ok but definitely not fully open. What's your tank setup? Lighting?

It is a gbta. I am running the Fluval Sea lighting with about 8hrs white, 8hrs blue, and 8 off. I have just 1 powerhead for now but I'm going to add another in a couple weeks on the otherside to give the wave effect. In a 36gal bowfront tank, I just added 2 clowns today but I don't think it's open enough for them to even try to host.

The gbta looks very small to me from the picture. If the clowns try to go into it, it will probably irritate the gbta to death eventually over time...

I understand the 8-8-8 photoperiod but what's the intensity?
Nemes require an established tank with great lighting as they derive 75% of their food from the light. As a guide, each 2ft cube of tank needs 150-250 watts.
