I can't really tell from the picture, is it attached at all and is it seperating into seperate parts?

It appears to be splitting unless I am looking at an optical illusion from the reflection of the tank.
More information is needed on your setup. Included time its been running, what is in it for LR, and other inhabitants, water perameters, with specific numbers not just good water, pH, salinity, alkalinity, temp, ammonia, nitrites and nitrates to be more specific. Has it completed its cycle? Also lighting, what type and how many watts. How long have you had the anemone? How did you acclimate it to your tank? It is bleached and its not uncommon to see newly aquired anemones from LFS bleached. Answers to the above will help pin point what could be wrong. HTH.
My assumption looking at the pic is that your tank is very very new, this is prob where your issues are steming from.

It is the reflection of the anemone on the top. The anemone is attached to the outflow of my filter. It has been there for a couple of months and seems very happy there. When you look at it from different angles, the smaller anemone (if that is what it is) is attached at the bottom of the bigger one. I have tested the water and everything seems normal.

I was trying to avoid an answer like this, which is why I was so specific in my above post. I see the reflection of the anemone at the top, from what you have explained I am 100% certain that it is splitting. And I am also 200% certain that it is not a happy anemone, it is bleached and if it has been in your tank for 2 months already its only a matter of time before it dies. I am concluding to this end result based on 2 things the current condition of the animal now, and your lack of detail to my above questions. As already stated give specific details about your set up, answering all my questions and you will at least know for sure if your anemone can be saved or what you need to do to get it back into good health. Good Luck.
