Hi there, i bought a rba about a month ago and it was doing fine. 2 weeks later my clowns were hosting it. But about 3 days ago it startet shrinking and it was revealing its mouth. Now it has shriveled up its feet and its mouth is still open and white, it also doesnt want to attach it self to a rock bc it keeps falling of. These are my water parameters: slinity 1026, ph is 8.2, alk is 7, nitrate is 5, phosphate is about 0.05 and my water temp i 26 degrees celsuis.
 
Yeah its most likely dying, but anemones usually clear their gut out at least once every 1-2 weeks. If it clears up after a day or two then you should be good. Just watch out for its death... You will want to remove the body ASAP. (To tell if its dead just smell it)

Doesn't smell like anything at the moment but i will wait 2/3 days to see if something happens, i might even put it in an quarantine tank until something does happen

A QT tank would be the best move for your livestock in case it does die.
 
Picture in white light please
 
If the system is newish, not uncommon for shrink and die.
If mature system, fluxes in water chemistry, that makes them unhappy.
