Sorry man. Usually these kinds of posts are followed by: "I got 4 amenones in a 14 galon tank wit 4 clowns and 3 tangs and they half these wite spots all over them. My tank is coverd in green algee and I just addeded some tap watur. I don't have any test kits and everyting is dieying. Can you tell me why?"
Oftentimes they are trolls, looking for a response. Especially when the original thread was hijacked as you did with your post. I apologize that I was mistaken and this was not the case.
In the future, it's probably better to start your own thread along with a little more info up front rather than hijacking another.

I would be concerned if it is doing that every day -- that, IMO/E, is way too often, and an indication that something is off.
What size tank?
What lights?
How long has the tank been set up?
What are your parameters -- with numbers
What type of filtration?

filtration came with tank. Its a Current-Usa solana it has built in pump skimmer biochamber using Ploy pad(I think thats what its called....) and using RO for top off. Flow is NOT directed at anemone but I had done so because it found itself in a hole trapped while wandering my tank. Livestock: four small blue legged hermit crabs o_clownfish pair my nem few corals purple firefish arrow crab tiger narcissus(x2) 3 mexican turbos 2 american star and cleaner shrimp.

What type of "carpets" ?
In my experience, mixing species of anemones (( mainly S. Haddonis with M. doreensis/LTAs )) doesn't work out -- with neither anemone settling in. You already have 4 anemones (( 2 species )) in a 55, and should try another one, let alone another species.
What type of angel?
The horseshoe crab (( assuming it lives )) will get bigger then a dinner plate, and should be left in the ocean.
EDIT -- you were posting as I was.
Can you give all of your parameters -- with numbers.
How long do you have the anemones before they die?
All from the same place?
For the time being, I would suggest not buying any more anemones until things are figured out.
