How old is your tank?
What equiptment are you running, eg lights, skimmer and the like?
Have you tested your water? What for? What were the results?
What type of 'anenomie' is it?

Answering these might help someone answer your question.

Cheers

:)Hi Edd, the anenomie is (scue my spelling coming up) a Gelan.
The tank is is 190lts. with a v2-400 protein skimmer. 2 external filters (output 2200lts p/h) 1 for biological filtration. The other 1 for carbon and phosphate remover. Also 1 power head which is 600lts p/h.
There is also about 20 kg of live rock.
The test results are as follows
nitrite 0
amonia 0
ph 8.2
nitate 0-10(Seems to vary between the 2).
The anenomie seems ok to me now, fed it about 7-8 days ago, then over the weekend its moved its way back out in to the open and its fed again tonight. May be it'll do this every time it feeds.
I would appreciate your thourghts.

Mike.

A word of caution if you have powerheads or filter inlets in your tank with the anemone (spelt correctly!)
Please ensure they are well protected and that if your anemone is moving around the tank it cannot be sucked into any of these inlets - too many of these creatures die needlessly this way.
