    I would get it out of the tank and fast. Even if it means killing your nem its better than the whole tank dying. Do you have a QT?

    feed it and give it good water quality and watch to see if it starts healing or dieing. If it starts dieing you might have to get rid of it. Anemone's can nuke a whole tank.

    As it dies, it will release massive amounts of toxins into the water.

    I did a similar thing with my rbta, shreaded it through a powerhead. If the water params are up to par the anemone should recover... mine did, and now I have 6-8 of them for the clowns to play in... they spread like wild fire!
