Is He New To Your Tank? It Could Be That He Is Stressed. It Could Be A Number Of Things. I'm Fairly New At Anemones And Corals But Mine Wilted When It Ate Or Was Resting. Keep An Eye On It For The Next Couple Of Days. If It Gets Worse Try To Move It Alittle And If You See That It Has Started To Fall Apart Remove It From Your Tank. Of Course You Could Always Put It In A Hospital Tank If You Have One Set Up To Keep Watch On It.

Doesn't look too good. Give some details. New addition? Lighting? Etc.

Perhaps its not used to the lighting situation right now. Might want to reduce the photo period for a while, depending on what it was used to vs. what you are giving it right now.
What temp are you running?
Are you running a protien skimmer?

Looks like he's just not settled in yet. Mine looked to be settled, but this morning he has moved over the night time. I've been told to be patient, but it sure is nerve racking watching him like a hawk like this.
I might have to move the rock again if he doesn't come out from the crack he just sank into. At least yours is out in the open right now.
