Female Terrorizing Male - Clarkii Clowns

Hello everyone,

I have my clrakii clowns for about a month now and two days ago I added a long tentacle anemone. The biggest one, soon to become the female (hopefully the clarkii pair) paired with the anemone and it started terrorizing the smaller one in a corner and when is trying to leave she is just chasing him back on the same corner. This started late last night when the anemone moved in a corner of my tank and the male got stuck swimming on top of it.

The male is the one on the right and it is just swimming at the same spot since last night. (didn't even eat today)

Anything that I should do? The anemone is on the move again that's why she looks detached. The anemone seems healthy and today it ate a good piece of silverside.
Also the nitrates are a bit up so I don't know if it's adding to the overall stress levels of the tank

After my perculas found the BTA's they started fighting. I thought they would kill each other to be honest. I just watched them for a couple weeks and then they just stopped. The one I assumed was going to be male is, and the other has grown and become female.
 
Mine are doing the same thing my Picasso was messing with my platinum and messed his fins up. I took the platinum out last night for a few hours and put it in my dads tank. Hopefully this will fix the fighting.. If not I gotta take the female out
 
I moved the anemone out of the corner because she was not attached anywhere and placed it in the front of my tank. These are some photos from my anemone, let me know if you see something odd with it please. On one of the photos im trying to show the foot of the anemone being a bit shrieked.

I have the anemone since sunday, she attached and she moved in corner and did not attached since then. Im using 50/50 T8 17w for light and im planning to upgrade at some point but not yet.
