Does he look dead?

Yes it looks like it melting at the bottom. Does it smell bad?

I didn’t smell it tbh but my allergies are beating my butt so bad I can’t smell anything

You could put it in a hospital tank and try to nurse it back to health but I wouldn’t try it in the display incase it dies and nukes the tank. Sorry, I hope it recovers.

When they let go and not reattach, that’s a problem.
If he’s coming apart, discard.

If it's dead the person next door will be able to smell it let along you with allergies. All jokes aside, dead anemones typically smell terrible so you'll know right away (even with allergies!). Let's hope it's just irritated and will bounce back.

If it's not reattaching and looks like it's melting then it has most likely passed. I would test your main tank to make sure you don't have a ammonia spike, and throw in a little activated carbon in case any of your other corals are stressed. Also double check your salinity if you don't have a auto top off as anemones are sensitive to swings in salinity.
