Bubble tip anemones, help!!!

[stupid_naso]

Mine nearly died yesterday because the live rock that it was on got knocked over by the fish. I managed to save it yesterday. I put it directly under the light, I feed it, I put it next to the power head so it got enough current. It was fine last night, my sebae was sleeping on it too. This morning it shrinked. Now what I hate is I don't know whether he's dead or alive. I tried to put it under the light again, it got slighty better by that. Then I tried to feed it, it ate part of it. I tried to put it next to the power head again, it got a little better. But now it's back to the way it was. What do I do? Should I just leave it if it's not getting better by tonight I remove it or what? Is there any other way to save him?
Please help, I don't want to loose him .

Now it's better, arghhhhhh .
I did twenty percent water change today, like I normally do every week. Normally I do ten but today I did twenty. It's fine now. Its tentacles are bubbling back to normal. I don't know what to feel. I was worried to death, I was upset, now I'm happy but still sick and worried, arrghhhhhhhh <img src="graemlins//yell.gif" border="0" alt="[yell]" /> .

As you found out, injured inverts sometimes just take awhile to recuperate - providing they have not been damaged to the point of no return.
As you may already know, anemones will inflate and deflate their body's quite often - depending on a lot of different factors. Most folks that are new to keeping them totally freak out seeing this for the first time. But it's very natural and will happen now and then.
When damaged, they will react as yours did and retract/deflate. Keeping them in a location of the tank where they seem to like on their own is normally advisable too. Moving them around a lot sometimes can go either way - good or bad.
I'm glad yours seems to be on the road to recovery.

I know that anemones deflate, NOW AND THEN, but mine deflates throughout the day, everyday for the past two days, and when the day was about to end he inflates back to normal. Now I don't think this is normal, what could've possibly caused this? Last night I had to keep the lights on till midnight so the anemone can inflates back to normal, by that time my clownfish is in and I turned off the lights. This morning, boom, it's back deflated. Help !

Dont worry about it!!! As for next time (hopefully never): dead anemones look like jello bits floating around your tank
Anemones can move to where they are happy. Leav the tank alone a bit more and keep it on a regular cycle (ie lights, currents, feedings) and it will do fine. If it is not inflated before the lights go off, don't worry. He will inflate in the dark or the next day.
Be careful with the powerhead, they can chop up anemones

I have had one of these guys in my office tank with a marron clown for about 2 years. Feed it a piece of krill every 2 weeks or so and has reproduced twice. You'll know when that guy goes to the great beyond by the smell (at least mine did). I had one previously die before this guy and the tank water had a faintly bad odor.
