None of your pictures are of Bubble tip anemones..your first pic appears to be a few hairy mushrooms and your second pic I believe are beaded anemones, or curly q anemones.

In either case none of the pictures shown have a BTA in them. As for what your dosing, even if you had a BTA the phytoplex is doing nothing for it, and the trace element additive is something you shouldnt be adding without testing for what might be lacking first.
This thread seems odd to me, in the event it is serious I answered to the best of my ability. It would be helpful to start from the begining though and post everything about your tank, how long its been up, lighting type and wattage, and specific water peramter levels. Also who the person was that told you, you have bta's.

I agree, neither pictures shows a BTA. However, not every BTA will bubble. When I bought mine it looked more like a long tenticle anemone. Mine only bubbles when the actinic lights are on. When I turn on my halides it stretches out and looses its bubbles. From what I have researched some are from deeper waters and they don't bubble as much as the shallow water BTAs.

are you maintaining the salinity constant by topping off the tank? has the temperature changed at all?
Post tank parameters also please :)
