Any idea why my bubble tip anemone would be shrinking up like this? Did a quick search and couldn't find anything where they appeared to look like this. He's been doing it every 3rd day or so, and comes back fully "bubbled" after about an hour give or take.

Normal for a BTA, they just expell and refill with fluid routinely. Is this a green BTA? If you could post a picture of when it re-inflates that would help to see how it looks when totally inflated.

Can you feed silversides to anemones?
Myself and many others have had bad experiences using silversides as an anemone food. Occasionally you'll get a bad one and it'll kill the anemone.
