I got a black widow a few weeks ago and it has been doing ok. About 2 days ago, it shrunk and just floats around in my anemone box.

You can see that my other BTA on the left is doing ok but it's the one on the right looks sad. The tentacles have completely shrunk and the mouth are seems very bloated.

Do you know why this is happening? Should I release it into my tank and let it settle?

That doesn’t look good. With new additions it’s not good for them to be in a nem box because the need to acclimate to the light. If I was in your situation I would place the nem in the tank.
