This is my bubble tip anemone. I got home today and saw this. Check salinity and it was at 1.025. All fish and inverts are fine. Didn’t respond to the feeder tongs touch, but it is moving.

I would do a water change to see if it helps... how old is the tank and how long have you had the anemone? Can you treat it if it needs it?

had the tank for 3 months. Clownfish have been in since month 2
 
Looks like acclimating anemone that is a little stressed and bleached, probly have heard that you should wait 6-12 months for an anemone they need a mature tank. Can still save it , just keep stable parameters and do not feed besides a couple of mysis a week , good chance to recover. I had one similar bleached and stressed on arrival just kept it alone and fed a tiny bit has colored up and looks better
