Shriveled Up Anemone?????

I went into my son's room to turn on the tank light and found that one of the anemones has shriveled up, and there is a spider web like algae floating around the tank. Anyone have any insight as to what this is and why my anemone has shriveled up? The base of the anemone is fine. It seems that it has just re-tracked its tentacles.

It's probably pooping

That makes sense.... I did feed them yesterday.... Just never noticed that before. Thanks
lol...no problem...I lost a few anemones when I first started and I finally have one that's staying alive
BUT at first, every time it was "pooping" I thought it was dying....Now I'm calmer and use to it

if it looks like this, just as meowzer said if you saw a spider looking web it's pooping, they also do that when they cycle water into their tentacles, this pic is one of mine pooping.
