After seeing the condition of your BTA, IMO you should definitely not get any more anemones.
Your tank does not have enough lighting for any and ritteri anemones are extremely sensative to water stability. They're for experienced anemone keepers only IMO.
Please do your research on care of the animals you'd like to buy and not only on their price.

Exactly what lights do you you have on your 55?
And how long has it been setup?
What other anemones do you have in that tank?
Got a pic of your BTA?

Freshwater lights? They're likely normal outputs if you're not sure. In that case, the lights on your 24g is better, but even those are waaay not enough lighting for any hosting species of anemones like BTAs or ritteris.
Anemones can take many months to slowly die. After keeping one for a year you might say you're successful.

yeah so you will never notice it die in a petstore because they sell fast.
