Red bubble tip anemone shrunk and mouth inverted

[shine007t]

My red bubble tip anemone has been like this from the past 1 week after getting bullied by a large blue legged hermit crab. The anemone was initially on the rock but now settled o. The back glass of the tank. Do you guys think he is dying? What should I do?
PLEASE HELP

Can you get a closer shot to its mouth?

Its foot looks like its still strong. So its a good indicator for now. The hermit likely ticked it off and now it had to move somewhere it may not like. So still ticked off.

Inverted mouths doesn't always mean death. Could have overfed or ate something too large.

But if it loses its foot strength and mouth still inverted. Prepare for likely death.

This anemone climbing is often a sign of insufficient light and even water flow and seeking more light and/or flow
Moderate light and flow is all they need in addition to regular feedings of chopped krill or mysis shrimp
