IMO your salinity is low but you might want some more answers from experienced people.

You need to take a look at your calcium and alkalinity. Just a guess but I'm willing to bet your pH went into the toilet when you did that, or your anemone got hit with buffer compounds and shrivled up., I've seen that before.
With a reef tank you must track calcium and alkalinity, even magnesium.
Then again you might find he is ok in the morning, all depends on what happend. Get those other test scores.

also check your amonia levels if those are high it will also cause this.i would raise sg and cal may be a bit low
