Would like a closer pic but once a nem dies it decays in a matter of hours, so you should be good

I would keep an eye on it but don't move it or do anything to irritated it. Looks like it's just closed up. Sometimes they do it when not happy other times to digest foods. All of mine close like that at night.
EDIT : they normally turn to mush when dead.

It just looks a little closed up like if it ate food. A closer pic would be good.

Mine do what others have been saying. At night in the start, once it was new to the tank it closes up and retracts close to its foot, also if it poops it closes up a lot I have found too. How long has it been in that spot? Also, have you made any changes to the tank recently?

Better pic kind of!

The tank looks very clean, perhaps new? Nems do better in established tanks with proper (reef) lighting.

Looks more stressed than in trouble and May be as simple as too much light and/or water flow.

Immature tank can also play a role with changing chemistry as anemones dont adapt well to constant change but rather a stable system.
