Look for the following symtoms.
1. The anemone is not attached to anything
2. open mouth or protruding
3. non sticky factor ( use a pair of tongs and some food if it doesn't stick thats a bad sign).
4. poor coloration
5. odd signs such as should have long tenticals only they are short and listless, not reaching for the sun so to speak. Limp.
6. look for signs of melting.
7. Look to see if other corals for instance frogspawn look normal if not this may be a sign of toxins in the water colum. A carpet anemone that releases its toxins have been known to kill the frogspawn corals.
There are other signs but they just aren't poping into my head at the moment. I should write these things down. :notsure:

This reminds me of my first anemone. When i first got it it started to move around. Of course i didnt like this and not knowing better i kept on moving it where I wanted it. After a while it just got pissed and started shrinking. It looked like crap and I thought it was dead. I just left it alone and after a while it got better. I have learned so much about them now and mine is really huge and very happy. Just leave yours alone...youll probably know when yours is dead.
