Green Bubble Sea Anemone

I am getting back into my saltwater tank. Its a 29g biocube with a custom built led light set up from stevesleds.com "It provides an equivalent of 250W metal halide light". My parameters for water quality should be good.

I bought a Green Bubble tip Anemone just a day or two ago and realized I know basically nothing about it. As far as I know it is healthy and looks healthy. I tried giving it a few thawed (tank water) Mysis shrimp a day after I introduced it to the tank. It took nothing.
A long time ago I once had a long tentacle anemone that would grab and eat silvers like they were candy. It went suicide into the filter.

I'm assuming the bubble anemone just isn't ready or not hungry enough to eat.
Any of you pros have useful information?

Looks healthy. Give it time to settle in before feeding again and it should eat. Remember to use small pieces the size of its mouth. Also I would ditch the silversides this time around in favor of fresh seafoods. Users here have reported silversides killing their anemone (possibly from getting spoiled in shipping).
 
Id say the anemone is right around 3.5 inches maybe even 4. When I had the lights on low the anemone stretched out and was playing with the coral to the left. I drew in vertical lines to where I've seen it stretch. While I was at work he moved around to the other side of the rock.
