It is probably starting to run low on fat store resources that is if it is not eating anything (if it's eating when you're not watching, possibly) and since it lost it's zooxanthellae.

Seems like you have all the requirements needed by your BTA. Although I still don't know about the lighting issue. I don't have a saltwater tank, nor do I know captivity requirements for saltwater organisms. I know what I read or hear about from other aquarists. You can try to change the water flow, to see if that helps. Just be careful with too much flow because your anemone may be running low on energy, and could possibly detach itself if there is too much flow.

You've never experienced this problem with your other BTA (the one at work)? If your boss has experience with BTAs perhaps he could give you some advice as well. Experience is always a good thing, and shouldn't be regarded as false just because someone doesn't have a degree or what not.
