So I've been reading around the forum trying to get information but i'm worried and don't want to take too much longer. I've had a pink tip anemone for about a month and it's been doing great, all the sudden today he was completely pulled into his foot, couldn't even see a pink tip. He started pulling out a little but his mouth is lulling open and most of his tentacles are literally flat. I really think he's dead, i was trying to remove him but not luck. Is he dead? Just pooping? What should i do!!

If this just happened and there have been no other signs of stress, then IMO leave it be, observation right now is key. More than likely its just expelling waste very common for the animal to look this way when it does. In the event that this is more serious, you will see other signs. One being that it wont get back to its normal appearance. Other things to look out for are, expelling its intestines, which looks like small white worms. Mouth gaping open for more than a day. Being deflated for more than a day. Losing hold of where it is attached and floating freely. The fact that it wont let its foot go is a good thing and IMO its just getting rid of waste. But keeping an eye on it is a good idea.
