Several questions come to mind:
How old is the tank?
How long have you had the RBTA?
How bright are the lights? Led, T5 MH?

It looks pretty small. I got a small one at RAP in Orlando about 6 weeks ago and it took at least weeks before it even started to look normal (happy).

Well, 6 months is kind of young for an anemone, but it's already done. And being ticked off for 3 days in a new tank isn't hard to believe either. The odd part to me is that it opens up at night...

Maybe some more eyes on the issue...

What are your tanks params? Being in the tank 3 days it's just getting acclimated, they'll do all kinds of weird things like open more at night. Your lights are probably brighter than what it's accustomed to.

If it is a Rose BTA???

Then it may have lost it's zooxanthellae.

But... BTA's can act weird.

The foot still looks good.

To be fair, RefferFever called it a BTA, I mistakenly called it a RBTA. Based on the photos I seriously doubt that it is a Rose BTA. My bad.
