Stichodactyla tapetum questions

Hello every one.
Last sunday I introduced in my tank a small S. tapetum with two thor shrimps. During the first night the tapetum moved under a rock, I can see it and it is under moderate light, it reacts very well to touch. Its color is still green and is very bright under blue light, however, now it is the fifth day in which it is not expanded completely. On one side, the tissue is "rolled" on itself and I can clearly see the foot. Is it sick?

The two thor spend a lot of time on it, when I try to target feed the anemone they come immediately and steal the food. Is it a normal behaviour? Yesterday I noticed one thor standing right on anemone's mouth, and he was keeping on putting its paws in the mouth, what was he doing?

Apart the PO4 which are still 0.1 ppm, the rest of the tank chemistry is ok. Thanks for any advice.
 
too many variables and not enough info to put out a theory...

age of tank, description of system, and pic of the nem?
 
Pic will come later when light is on.
Tank is 4 months old, natural method, no skimmer. 50 liter, nano koralia nano 1600 l/h, led lightning blu and white (total of 72w). I feed the corals every week with frozen mysis. NO2 and NO3 are 0, PO4 0.1ppm

The anemone still has a side which is rolled upside down.
