what 's with this anemone??

Dear, got the photo of anemone, a Entacmea quadricolor, which is in the aquarium 02/06/2013.

Vine growing and developing normally. Makes about three weeks I noticed that the mouth was more prominent, as if reversing. She then decreased in size, but retains a beautiful greenish tint.

Not accepted shrimp both times I fed recently. It seems that leads to the mouth and then dismissal. The marble aspect of mouth has little more than a week.

If it was excessive lighting (LEDs), or she would be white or change of location, agree? However it does not come out of where you are and is under a set of LEDs.

Has anyone ever seen this happen? What to do?

If you did change something like lighting, alk etc that is probably causing the issue. Mine do this when they are stressed, usually when first adding them to the tank. It can even be something tickling/stinging it like some of that algae over there making contact and agitating the nem slightly.
 
Ok, it may even be algae, but in any new situation that was stressing it would not be logical to expect that she tried to change locations? Could be movement, algae, or light and there, I think the first sign she would not stay in one place. But it's there for months. On the other hand, I think in some parameter of thing, the kind alkalinity. In this case, no good she moved. But here I stand at 7-8 ºdKH. Is so bad for her?
