How old is that tank? You are pushing it with 2 anemones that close together. I have two in my tank but they are on opposite ends of the tank and my tank is over a year old. The bubble tip looks bleached out. That is not enough light also. The bubbletip might be ok but the condy don't need to be in there.

How are they that close? They are almost over a foot apart.. Its not bleached its just my camera its actually a nice green color. And 5 wpg isnt enough light? and whats wrong with a Condy, yes I know when they die they release a poison into the water

it is not just WPG, it is also light intensity. What kind of lighting are you using (eg: metal halide, PC, t5, t8...)?
You should only be housing anemones under metal halides and T5HO lighting

5WPG isn't enough, 6 WPG + is recommended. I keep mine under that but I also use natural sunlight and mine are in great condition.

Nice anemones!
How are they that close? They are almost over a foot apart...
Until they find a spot they like they can be mobile. What may be "over a foot apart" today might not be the case in the future.
Well I also use some natural sunlight as the tank is next to the sliding glass doors going outside. They have been in there since tuesday and have moved a little but not recently and they are t5's
