That is some very upset nem , friend.

Please give us something to work with as far as information. Paint the Picture.

Current tested parameters
Lighting
How old is the tank
How long have you had the nem And are there others in the system?
How long has it looked like this?
Has anything changed of note
Do you have a hospital tank you can bring it into? Did you have cipro on hand if it needs treatment?

Nitrates and phosphates at zero is a big issue for anenomes, alk i very much hope is not zero.

Can you Look at the light and read what it is?

It reads like this thing has been starving for nutrients, likely with an underpowered light and has an infection.

Are you direct feeding it? How often?

I would be pulling it from the display and getting into a hospital tank. Use some (small amount) of skimmate to add nutrients into the water. The repeated inflation/deflation cycle is the animal trying to expel Something.

Looks to me like it will need treatment.

I think the light may be underpowered but I’ve had a condy anenome before and it did well in the same tank but got rid of it due to it being a danger to my fish. I’ve tried to feed it probably two days ago after it started to look bad and haven’t tried agin should I try tomorrow? Also today it’s looked a little better and the mouth stayed closed most of the time just the tentacles have not come out. At night when the lights go off it seems to close up a lot more.

No, do not feed it in this state. That's another level of stressor it does not need.
