I just got my anemone a couple days ago he was fine his tenticles were extended but now he has crawled to the back of the tank. Last night looked like he was throwing up something but now it looks like he is dying

Can you get a picture with "daylights" on? Too hard to see with all the blue.

What size tank?
What lights do you have?
How long has your tank been set up?
What are your current parameters --- with numbers please.
What lights was it under? Are you acclimating it to your lights?

What are your Alk, Cal and Mag numbers? (( along with your SG/Salinity )) --- your pH is on the low side.

A year old tank shouldn't have any nitrite readings; need to figure out why you have any readable levels.

Lastly, a 5 gallon tank is (( IMO/E )) too small for an anemone.
 
how long has he been like that?
That temp is definitely high. Mine is at 76 degrees.
Did you acclimate him to those nitrates? Slow long acclimation if you have nitrates that are high.
You have algae/Cyano on the sand so you definitely have excess nutrients in there.

I would try a water change and lower that temperature!

When it is dying you will see it open its mouth and start turning inside out. Its really obvious by "inside out"
