Is this anemone dying or perhaps already dead? I fear it was burned when salt got into my main display and after a few days of not looking great it detached from the rock completely.

I’ve been feeding daily to help stimulate LPS growth, it has not received any direct feeding but I assumed it was gathering scraps and pooping but after today’s detachment I fear the worse.

He still has hope but I recommend not messing with him and trying to feed him some meaty foods to get his health back up. He doesn't look great but If you keep your parameters in check and stable he should come back. Good luck!
 
Could you post your current Parameters?
Parameters are as follow

80 Degrees
Salinity 35ppm
PH ~8.4 (red sea test not very good)
KH/Alk 9.6-9.9 (seifert)
MG 1365-1380 (seifert)
Calc 460-470 (seifert)
Nitrates 0-5ppm
Nitrites 0ppm

Dosing 2- part and amino acids

Additional information, Yesterday I saw a little it of detachment on one of my hammers so I turned that off and all of my coral seem to enjoy the less intense flow
 
AI Prime HD, He was in a very shady corner when detached so I moved him to a brighter area

It's generally not a good idea to detach them. Easy to damage them, and they go where they want to anyhow. Sometimes when they first go in they will go to a shady area, and sometimes when they are stressed. Was he looking ok before you moved him?

Not really, to clarify I did not detach him,I woke up this morning and he was detached face down foot up so I gently guided him

Your parameters look great and one thing I do if my parameters are good but I'm having issues is a series of large water changes 3-4 30%. But, make sure that it is mixed to the same temp, alk, and ph of your Display, and on top of that run activated carbon.
