I would begin making water changes immediately. My guess is the nitrates may be even higher than what your test shows, based on the look of the anemone. I suggest 20% water changes daily (that's a lot, but in the is case it's an emergency). I would also suggest protein skimming and changing out the activated carbon weekly.
