JM, do you have clowns with your anemone that may be feeding it?
(storing food in it?)
You have not had your anemone very long, it takes time for them to adjust to your tank.
OPPS, I see you have a maroon, how big is it compared to your anemone and does it every leave it?
They are notorious for harassing a BTA to near death, keeping it so that it stays closed from all of the rubbing against it.
Please post a picture of your anemone so that we can see what it looks like, and also let us know on your tank specs, lightsing, flow and that maroon

yeah that maroon was circling the bag while it was aclimating and jumped on it from the time it hit the SB. it has not left it very much, but I did notice yesterday that it did swim around the tank some and left it alone more than normal. The BTA is a good size compared to the Maroon. i've noticed that all the silversides I put in there will make its way to the BTA but then I find them scattered around the tank. The Maroon is good about bringing food to it but it doesn't eat it.

The anemone looks ok so far, try a colander or strawberry basket over the anemone when you feed it.
I think that something is draging its food away from it, could be the clown but doubt it.
Give that a try.
Also, your size ratio is good for maroons and BTA's , we see so many tiny anemones with huge clowns hosting in them , this one is good.
