The first picture was the anemone a week ago and the second is how it's been the past few days. At first I thought it was eating but it's just staying like this now.

That looks like a merten's anemone. The second picture, all I see is the foot. How does the oral disc look? Is it expelling it's guts? If it's just shriveled up, it could just be acclimating yet. If it's expanding and deflating and it's mouth is gaping open, that's when you need to worry. If it's the latter, you should try to do a cipro treatment.
