A picture is worth a thousand words. :D
Doesn't sound like you have too much. The problem comes from the corals becoming defensive and starting warfare with each other. If you start to see nematocysts (stinging tentacles) coming out of your brains or your mushrooms and other polyps could be starting chemical warfare and effecting the rest of your tank... then no, your fine. All of us at one point have a problem with warfare going on it our tanks, what matters is the research that you do to contain it and prevent it from happening again! Simple as that.
You could stand to add another goby if you wanted to... The lower the fish bioload, the cleaner the tank will be.

Well, what kind of anemone is it exactly? When did you buy it? What kind of lights do you have? What are your water parameters including alkalinity, pH and phosphate? What are you trying to feed?
