First: A little lecture for any new people reading this ....you should not get an anemone until your tank was 6 months mature. I know you said you swapped everything...this is for those who have new tanks.
Second: Anemones do this, shrink up and look dead thing when they expel old water and then re-inflate with new. As a long as it is attached it is happy.
