With proper lighting why would you feed the Anemone so often ? Do you think it expelled some of it's zooxanthellae because of stress ? My RBTA also did the same thing but it was because of a dramatic increase in lighting intensity, it became light pinkish color. Not a good photo but you can see it off to the right.
This article by Robert Fenner is excellent and speaks to the dangers of overfeeding hosting Anemones:

Most losses in captive systems are the result of over-feeding. How many more times do I feel I need to write this? Bunches! Some anemones have been kept for YEARS without any intentional external feeding. Know your stock! Many anemones (especially larger species) are detritivorous (a polite term meaning they eat poop), planktivorous, and largely chemoautotrophic/photosynthesizing species/individuals that hobbyists try to over-stuff with meaty/prepared foods. My bid for largest cause of loss of anemones is the consequences (lack of oxygen, hydrogen and other sulfide production...) from over-feeding.
