i know that they do shrimk and expand. they are made of a lot of water. i think ittl be fine. but still watch it

In my experience, when anenomes start looking small and/or sickly it's because of deminishing water quality. They usually give the first signs that a water change is in order. Anenomes are very sensitive in the change of salinity(evaporated water) and in increases in phosphates and nitrates. Hope this helps!
