My anemone

[tango]

Hello everyone,
I recently bought a purple tipped anemone. He was doing very good. Today when I woke up he was as big as Ive ever saw him. After breakfast I went with my dad shopping. I got home after ward and my anemone is all shriveled up and is almost a gray colour. He is usaully a pearly white.Is he dieing or is this natural?

My guess is that your not giving it enough light. Most anemones require more light than 92 watts of 10k pc.
