I agree that it is not normal for them to expel waste everyday. Mine have always been well fed and will expel approximately once a week. I have noticed that a couple of mine will shrink considerably late each evening, some will retract to behind the rockwork where they are attached. They stay that way until sun up next day. I would consider this retraction very normal. It is hard to say if Meowzer's shriveling is the same as mine retracting without seeing it. I would say mine shrink to about 1/2 the size regularly at night, when they expel waste they shrink down to nothing, like an empty balloon.
If your anemone is shrinking or deflating it is expelling. It is expelling water, which is what makes up the anemone. It does not have be a solid waste to be considered expelling. That is why I say it is not out of the norm for her anemone to be acting this way. If it shows other signs or continues to stay deflated more and more(especially during lighting hours) then I would think there is something wrong.

I can't pick on him too much, he means well, just not into this stuff. Sometimes I think we live on different planets. He does put up with a lot like fish tanks all over the house, okay just 2 rooms. We just picked up a dehumidifier, was feeling like a steambath in here. He's at the auto show tonight, wanted me to go.....boring.
Club frag swap Saturday, now that's exciting

Man, hard to believe, I am very lucky to live in a big city. I have several just minutes away. We have a very large local club, with frag swaps a couple times a year. Always have members w/stuff for sale, I have sold loads on the club forum. I was able to buy my new aquarium and lights by selling off anemones and some clavularia frags. I am selling a few Saturday too. I should count my blessings.
