Lights may be Too bright and what is your water flow( light-med-heavy?)
A dying anemone generally represents a head of cauliflower. Keep an eye on it

I would keep your AWC going. But I agree to remove gfo. Others have commented on lighting.

Hey friend! I think its probably your lighting, and maybe your tank is too clean. Feel free to let it get a little dirty. These are the lights i would recommend. Work perfect for me

Don’t give up on it i had destroyed i suspected it went through my Powerhead but idk to be honest all I know is I woke up it had no tentacles it looked like it was chewed up then spit back out by the time I got home it disappeared thought it was a goner 2 weeks later it popped up on my left island completely bleach no tentacles I was tempted to take it out but left it were it was at stood there for about 2-3 months it was rejecting food 4-5 months later picked up its colors still on the same spot going strong a year later, these pics were taken 4 months after the bleach.

Don’t give up on it let it find it’s spot, if you feed it try to feed it mysis it really really small pieces of shrimps or what ever you choose to feed it they spend a lot of energy digesting the smaller the meals the easier to digest

I always think the best test to determine if a nem is dead or not is the old fashioned sniff test. Give it a smell, does it smell like nothing or does it smell like rotting fish
