Florida Anemone Looking Bad

I have 3 Anemones in my 36g tank a 2 BTA's and a Florida Anemone. The BTA'a look outstanding and I have had them for 2 months. The White Florida Anemone looked great when I bought it a month ago but now is is looking all shriveled up and the white tentacles seem to be getting darker like their dirty or something. They almost never fully straighten out. I have PC 130watt AQUALIGHT. The anemone is now under a piece of LR and has never looked like the day I bought him from the LFS. Is there anything I can do to save the anemone or is it normal?

Well even though your lighting is low, the "getting darker" could be a sign that it is regaining some zooxanthellae. Sometimes its not easy knowing what is normal for an Atlantic condylactus anemone like yours. It could be reacting to some chemical warfare between the BTA's and itself. They often do better in cooler temps as well since they are from cooler waters.
Got a pic?
