    im not a anemone guy, but anemones will deflate and inflate regularily but extend periods of deflation may mean sickness

    Give it a few hours. It will fill itself back up.

    Might just be expelling waste...they will do that every so often. If it does die while your on vaca it will def. pollute to your H20. Maybe ask someone you know to stop and check on it to be sure it doesn't die while your gone and if it does have them pull it out of there!

    Are you feeding it meaty foods like krill or shrimp? Haitians are meat eaters and aren't as photosynthetic as BTA.

    My long tentacles did that often.. one would deflate every night and expel waste about every other night. Quite gross lol
