I got the RBTA yesterday, my clown hosted it, and now he looks like this! What do I do?

any way you can return it ?
Your tank looks way too young to keep an anemone alive. They need tanks that have stable parameters and strong lighting.
Usually around the 6 month mark you can add one. Also that’s a green bubble tip not a rose...
 
I made this mistake as well and got one to early it died within a week...new tanks just don’t seem to be stable enough for them.
