Help! My new anemone looks like this

[alexpuente]

Hi, I just got a new anemone from my local dealer that included a clownfish but after a day inside my tank it looks like this, what should I do?

If you want an honest assessment I would say it's dead and I would suggest not replacing it for a year or two.

Why the year or two?

Most likely because the tank is new and anemones shouldn't be added unless you have a mature system that is fully cycled and balanced.
