Sebae Anenome Help

Hello everyone,
We just recently picked up our first anenome along with a pink skunk clown. For the first week or so, it seemed great. Most of the time it was fully displaying and the clown was doing fine. Now it seems to spend more time adjusting it's water content and shriveling. It has readjusted it's position in the tank today by a few inches, but it has begun to invert itself to the point that the digestive system is now appearing right down at the bottom. At least that's what it looks like to me. It doesn't seem to be sick, but I don't want it to polute the tank if it's dying. Thanks for your help. I would like to submit a photo, but I can't seem to find out how other than linking to my facebook page.

Use photobucket. Can you at least post everything that you test for, tank size, exact lighting system, age of the tank, etc?

Nitrate 12.5
Nitrite 0
ammonina 0
Calcium 440
pH 8.3
salinity 1.025
alkinlinity 15
phosphate .25
lighting is VHO (i think that's right, I'm faily new) in an 80 gallon tank and it's been set up for almost 2 months.
 
I had one exactlty like yours and it died a couple weeks ago. I went through the exact same situation as you. Looked great for the first couple weeks, then steadily started shriveling more and more often. He moved himself several times. This led me to believe that he was looking for something and wasn't happy with his current location. All my tests were good as yours aren't bad, but he eventually died. Is he eating?? Now with all that said they do shrivle randomly and it's perfectly normal. But how much means he is not doing good....that's the million dollar question.

My fish store said that they don't need extra feeding due to the photosynthetic nature of the stuff in them, but i'm reading conflicting reports everywhere that say they need extra food or they don't. I don't know the answer.
