Your tank is too new and does not have sufficient lighting (except for a non-photosynthetic one). I would return the anemone. It is doomed in your tank. A 15 gallon tank is not big enough either to support a LTA.

To be honest, I don't know what to say. If you feed it then it will grow and that's bad because your tank is so small. On the other hand you don't have enough light for it to feed itself so it needs supplemental food.
I see no way to win in this situation.

It has a better chance of survival for a longer period of time in a 55 as opposed to a 15. Also, care can be put in to the aquascaping in the 55 to give the LTA the best shot at survival.
