Mine was found like this on Saturday morning. Shriveled up, slime crap coming out of him...two hours later, he was vibrant and full of life again. No idea. I said screw it. If I find him on the sandbed, I'll pull him, but for now, not much to do but wait n see.

An anemone that is dying is one of the worst things to have in your tank, they release their nematocysts (stinging cells) into the water column and will cause a huge spike in nitrates and phosphates. This can cause a lot of other things to die in your tank. I lost a bunch of zoas and sticks from a declining anemone last year.
