Well, brine shrimp will do nothing for your anemone. Anemones like meaty foods such as silversides, pieces of shrimp or fish.

With Hatian aka Condy anemones, lighting isn't usually that much of a problem but just wondering what kind do you have?

Water parameters?

I agree that meatier foods are required for your anemone.
Also, I wanted to add that anemones will routinely inflate and deflate as a way of ridding themselves of waste. Do you think it might be pooping? Are there any stringy things being expelled from the mouth of your anemone?

yeah anemones do flucuate in size.

Yes...also depends on how often you feed your anemone.
