Could you describe the death? Torn up, fell apart, melted?
I agree its always best to have a mature tank before trying an anemone.

I would have done at least a 30% water change or at least another 20%, then I would add fresh carbon and if you can get one a polyfilter would do wonders.

I agree with Thomas ... you definitely want to run carbon.
