That's your bubble tip right? It looks good today. Me too have some bubbles built up as well on the surface. I don't know why...

Yes it's my bubble tip ,kind of worried for it because this morning when the lights we're off it was shrunk and mouth swollen but when I turned the lights on it inflated back up

It's disolved organics. A skimmer will pull that out, otherwise weekly water changes are your best bet.

I don't have skimmer but I got that foam build up right after a big water change

My water changes are always small and I never had these bubbles before. It's just strange...

It will come and go. I would start monitoring it and see if it's associated with feeding your anemone, if it happens two or three days afterwards. As mwntioned above water changes will help, I do small weekly water changes of roughly 5%

maybe you have a lot of surface agitation. On the pics i can see to the bottom of the tank, the water surface is very calm. Normally we would point a powerhead at the top to agitate the surface to put that foam back into the water so the skimmer can pull it out. Surface agitation also helps put oxygen into the water

Yeah I just put a very high power filter on it ,it's because the was is usually higher so more surface agitation from the filter
