Help my anemone is all shriveled up and something came off of him. It was doing really well until I did another water change and it fell off the rock it was on

Please provide a full tank shot. Observation of your tank by an experienced eye will provide much useful information.

They respond to flow but mainly light which generates needed inner sugars for color and growth.

You're going off pure look rather than giving the information needed for an accurate course. Tank age and parameters play a huge role with anemone. If your tank is too young, little to no chance of survival. If parameters are off, or lighting is insufficient, it can be fixed.

Salinity is a tad low and still need to know the age of the tank. As mentioned before this is usually the number one reason people are having issues.
