The video isn't loading, but it is for sure still alive in the picture! It seens to just be closed up, they do that every now and then.
If you are ever unsure about an anemone being dead, do the smell test. If it smells really bad, like rotten fish, then it is definitely dead. But if it smells like seawater, then it's alive. Jut fyi though, if the foot is still attached then it is %100 percent alive. Keep us posted!
Good luck and God bless you!

I freaked out alls I knew was a dead nem was going to kill my whole tank quick, I had no clue a nem would look like that alive. Tank was almost a month in with the fish. Now I feel even worse that I pulled it out and it wasnt dead

I don’t recommend adding a BTA in the first month for a Someone that is new to this hobby, at all for that matter. Is it still out of the water?
it may still be alive. Take it slower, read as much content as you can possibly find on everything you want to add to the tank, and focus first on stability in the aquarium. Most people will recommend you wait six months before adding such a creature. You’ll be out of the hobby before you know it, if you don’t
