Over the weekend we went out of town, and had a neighbor take care of our tanks. Well, she didn't add water for evaporation ...at all. The water levels were dangerously low in the sumps which had the specific gravity very high, I slowly got it back to normal but the anemone doesn't look good at all. When I got home it almost looked like it was 'melting'. Now it's detaching from the rock and it's in a ball. Can't get a good picture, it's hiding in a crevice. Is it dying or just very stressed?
 
How are your other parameters? Salinity probably did it, keep a close eye on it, if it just starts floating around you need to remove it.
 
All other parameters are stable. How will I know if it dies?

If you see the anemone start to invert itself and start to smell (one of the worst smells) you'll know it's On it's way out. Just remove it from the tank and smell it.
 
I'll keep an eye on it, as of this morning, it's shriveled deep in a crevice, it appears to be attached.
