Waters good is not a valid answer for water params.

A valid answer would be... Alk # Ca # Mg # Temp and Salinity. with the addition its a coral and anenome.. you should also provide PO4 and NO3...

If you do not give those numbers, there is no one but God that can help you.

Nem is definitely very unhappy. I've noticed when my nems get stressed or right after they split they tend to hide in darker parts of the tank until they've healed. I don't want to stress your nem out more by tearing it off the rock so if you can I'd suggest moving the rock the nem is on to a shaded area.
Also, is this the first time it's deflated like this after you got it? Or has it deflated multiple times?
