How long have you had it, what type of lighting is it under? Its foot looks like it is losing color. You can feed it small pieces of krill, prime reef, etc. every few days, but proper lighting is the most important to its survival. Its foot should be red throughout, it looks like it is starting to turn white at the top, not a good sign,

I have had it for about a week, I have a coralife cf with two 65watt 50/50 bulbs so 130 watts total. Is that enuff light the lfs said to place it high but it has moved lower. Also i think the foot is turning white and about 4-5 tenacles are turning brown any suggestions?

I just feed it some raw frozen shrimp I had in the freezer do you think it hurt the anemone?

I am not to familiar with the coralife cf lights, I always thought those were for planted freshwater although I could be wrong, A good rule of thumb is 4-5 watts per gallon. I run MH with t-5's for my anemones and they seem to be happy. The shrimp should be fine, just make sure the pieces are not too big, I prefer to use shredded types of food, but to each their own. It's a good sign if the tentacles are turning brown, also the foot does not look as bad in the newer photos

it wasnt still frozen when you offered it to the anemone was it?
you can feed him ANY (just about) RAW seafood. As long as its room temperature, or thawed out.

you have to thaw the food before you give it to your critters or you are feeding a cold blooded animal an icecube. Its not a good idea and could ultimately kill it.
Thaw your frozen foods is all we were saying.
