is my Haitian Anemone sick?

I bought two Pink tipped Haitian Anemones from here and they're goreous! I came home from work today and saw that the Anemone that was very vibrant yesterday has withered and is lying flat on the sand, and there seems to be this orangy yellowish stuff across it. I thought it was the foot but its not. Is it dying and if so how do I save it?

10 Blue Hermit Crabs

I did all the tests and they didnt come out so well so I put in something to somewhat fix the ammonia and I did a 5 gallon water change to bring down the Nitrates which is what I was advised to do every 2-3 days if I want to give them a chance of surviving. I had just started this tank but half of what is in the tank is from my old tank, I set this tank up this past Saturday. Do you think this will help my Anemones and the Coral? I really dont want to lose them and I will do anything to help them get better. Do you think the advise given to me is wise and is there anything you suggest I do?
