    Is there any chance that you can post some pics and water parameters?

    Anemones are just wierd sensitive creatures. They need the right water and lighting conditions, or else they don't do well.

    Whoa.. a hole THROUGH it? That doesn't sound good.
    Yeah.. pics...

    Nems shriveling and moving is normal, even "using the bathroom" looks pretty crazy and you think it is dying. The hole is what worries me.
