Hi,
I just recently go an anemone, and it's not looking like it's doing that well. I need help, because I heard if the anemone dies, it will kill everyone in the tank. Idk if that's true this is what he looks like.

Is it's foot attached to the rock? If it is, that's a good sign.

How new is this anemone, and how long have you had your tank running?

You could consider putting it in another tank - some people treat anemones with cipro (an antibiotic) - and there are several posts about this here. How new/big is your tank - and what is your water like>
 
Thanks been running for over a year now, and the anemone 3 weeks
Sorry, I realized there was a typo in my first post. It was meant to say, "Is its foot attached to the rock?"
 
Is it possible to revive him, and if he dies will he kill everyone?
I'm sorry but it would be hard to revive it. It's possible but it won't be easy. If parts of the anemone get into the water column, it could kill things that it touches. It's up to you if you want to keep him in there a little longer to see if he gets better, or to just take him out.
 
The sand is too clean and white for one year old, even where the sand is against the glass its completely clean - the light might not be strong enough for the sand to be that clean.

We switched tanks, before it was a 20g now its a 30
