Is my anemone Ok?

I have a pink tip anemone. I've had it for about a month and a half. It was always doing good. I just looked in the tank and there is all this brown mucus like stuff coming from the center of it. It was halfway inflated and I gave it 4 pieces of prawn and it took them all. Now it is completely deflated. Is there something wrong with it? Is there anything I can do?

It is fine. They will do this all the time. Anemones change shape, color, size, location, etc.
The only indication that your anemone is dead or dying is if it starts disintegrating.
ps- my anemones stressed me out all the time when I first got them. You just have to chill and enjoy them. They do all kinds of weird stuff :)

I have had my pink tip enemone for 2 months now and every time I walk past the tank I have to see what it is doing now. It is always doing something strange but I have read many post of people experienceing the same thing. It deflates and looks dead on occasion but don't worry it is fine

Yesturday I have been wanting to move this rock in the middle of my tank but the enemone has been hanging on to it so I want to wait till he moved. So when he finally did I move the rock to the side of the tank. The enemone stood up with his tenticals pointing out and would spin around look for the rock. It was so neat :hilarious :D
