my green did the same thing for several days however it always remained nice and bright, so watch it's color, it should remain rich. it is not hungry it is pissed, leave him along and just watch him. what lights do you have him under get flow on him to this help him feel better. here is a pic of mine this is where he moved to first day and stayed I got lucky!! as long your water is right on a mature tank, and proper lights he should be fine in a few days.
here is pic of mine one his first day in tank

and here is the same guy 1 week later you can see his mouth is open just a bit still one week later. I attempted to feed at the end of his first week and he took it, fresh squid.

the light was good he was right under a light...do you suppose that the brighter light in which we introduced him to could have caused this? at the lfs i don't believe he was under hp lights....also now he climbed to teh back corner of the tank and is just hanging out...is this normal? the flow was very good too i don't understand...i will post a picture of him in one second my g friend is taking the pic as we speak

ours looks similar just the purple anemone wasn't as purple to begin with as your anemone is green...yah know? only the tips of the anemone were really purple....i just moved my powerhead so it is shooting directly on him....

What else do you have in the tank?
I'm thinking about setting up a 55g with nothing but a village of clowns and a purple carpet.
I have
frogspawn
mushrooms
zoos
snails, hermit,5 devil damsels(wish the carpet will eat them)
2 clowns
1 yellow head sand shifter goby
1 sleeper goby
2 green chromis
1 foxface
the 5 damsels will be all gone this week, I have one that is over 3 inches and is mean as hell.
I have 92g corner
the fish stay away from it so far.

no just a green one
he fed on 2 nice pices of cut scallops, fresh from the market.
I hear the silversides they tend to have trouble eating, so I will use the shrimp,squid, and scallop.

that should be fine just thaw in a little tank water in a cup and feed.
i take mine home cut it all up mix together and spread in out on foil the toss in freezer then I break in pieces then put in zip bag, so that I take just enough for feedings. I feed this to all my animals. I hold the pieces in feeding tongs and let the fish rip at it, keeps food from goinfg all over my tank. Then after the fish feed I spot feed my corals, stars, and now my carpet. i also feed mysis shrimp the same way. here is a pic sorry it is not so clear, I am using my hand this time but normaly I use my tongs
