What are the indications the anemone is having troubles?

Just some info from myself, as I sold her the nem.

I was running 6 ATI T5 bulbs. She is running 250 MH (on and off through the day)

The nem is closed up most of the time in her tank but she has been feeding him a lot more then I ever did. Also the nem had a clown host in my tank, hers does not.
He has been in her tank around 3 weeks now. I feel he will still need to get used to the light and tank but only time will tell,.

When I am turning the lights on the nem is closing up once I have the lights on after 20 minutes or so. Not sure if I should keep increasing the lighting time even though he is closing. I am going to raise the lights up another 6 inches and see if that helps.

One thing I've seen suggested before to help acclimatize new inhabitants is to put multiple layers of window screen between the tank and the light. Every few days you can remove one layer of screen to let more light through. Probably both easier than raising your lights and allows you to cut the intensity a lot more than just raising them 6 inches.

Feeding could be the problem, maybe the nem is just digesting and ready to poop soon
