Bubble tip dying?

It has been fine for the last month or so but the temp on my tank has risen from a normal 72-74 to 81 degrees recently. Also I fed it a ton because I didn't know that it only needed a little food each week. So please check out these pics and help if you can.

Personally 72 is too low. I keep my tank 8-12 degrees warmer with no issue

Okay so did I just over feed the anemone, or is something else wrong?

I can only see the top part of the picture, so it it hard to tell. Is it possible to take another picture and post it? Is the mouth gaping open? Is the food solid? From what I can see, the color looks okay (but can only see a little bit). With all the food, it might just be "pooping". An anemone fed every other day will grow faster and may split quicker. That is why once a week is what I normally recommend unless it is bleached or small. Every day is too much unless it is bleached. They need time to digest. I don't think you hurt it unless the pieces were too big.

Tropical saltwater tanks are usually run between 76 and 80 on average. I like 78-80 as a good range. I think your anemone will be happier with the warmer temperatures, but there may be an initial shock if the temperature came up too fast. But I would think that it would be gradual enough unless it happened because of a stuck heater.
