    Hey David, Try placing a rock underneath it and see if that helps.

    So what exactly is it doing? Releasing it's foot?
    Can you post a pic of it? Or is that it in your avatar?
    How old is the tank, what size, what lighting, and what are your Temp, PH, ammonia, Nitrite, Nitrate, Ph, dKH, ca, mg, and PO4 levels? How is the water movement?

    Well, looking at that picture, the anemone is pretty darned bleached, which means it's not in very good health. What about the other info?
