Hey guys - I have a bubble tip anemone. I bought it on Oct. 22. It was doing great up until about 5 or 6 days ago. It deflated. I wasn't crazy concerned about it, as a couple days later it looked like it was starting to get healthy again. I think I even managed to feed it a small piece of fresh shrimp. (The shrimp in my tank make it difficult to feed the anemone and will often pull food away from it, but it appeared that it was able to eat it.) Last night I noticed that it's foot isn't holding on much at all which is what really began to scare me.

The first picture is one from a few minutes ago. The other 3 are from a couple of days ago.

What should I do?
