I think my anenome is dying, I have a dino problem right now (again) after my nutrients went low, Im currently trying to get it undercontrol, a few weeks ago both of my anenomes were thriving and doing really well then I did a water change and my Dinos came back and everything is looking rough. My small BTA is looking rough and im pretty sure its mouth is open, its foot is still planted and my clown fish was hosting this particular anenome then it went back to the top bigger anenome. Should I try to remove it or just watch? I don't have anything in particular that is super expensive that im afraid it will nuke such as a small frag of sunny Ds and a small hammer coral, just my clownfish and two anthias. Any recs?

Assuming your water is stable, if he’s stuck and not falling apart, just leave him alone.
Do not feed him until he fully expands, then, only once per month is very sufficient.
If he ever starts falling apart, discard.

this was at night with the lights off. I checked my water at the LFS today everything is good across the board in terms of nothings out of wack. unfortunately my phos and nitrates at flat out ZERO and thats why im having DINO issues after I did a water change, I have a very low nutrient system. its mouth has never looked like this and it actually moved, it was completely under the rock now it moved to the top of the rock next to the anenome the clown is sleeping in.

if you want to save it, run QT with cipro (i.e, fish flox / ciproflaxcin). there are QT protocols posted here and on Reef Central.
basically, 250mg per 10G water... I am cheap and lazy so use quarter tablet to about 3G water with daily water change. If you act early enough, you can save em. Good luck.
I had similar issues with nems in a tank with dinos. my nems struggle big time there for whatever reason so I move them to a diff tank after treatment.
Here's a quite timeline on mine:
First intro to tank:
Then shortly after (notice guts hanging out everywhere):
7 day cipro treatment:
