    My $0.02. Take it for what it's worth...

    That anemone, if real in color, is insane. And, therein lies the problem. I'm not sure where you got it, but that anemone has been artificially bleached/colored. I really thought the hobby was beyond this, but apparently not.

    In my opinion, it has little chance of survival. But, if it's going to live, it needs to be 1) left alone (it will decide where it wants to live - don't try and force it into a place it doesn't like), and 2) give it some decent lighting - it needs to re-develop it's photosynthetic properties, if it is to survive.

    BTW, my opinion is that feeding it, other than lightly, isn't going to help things. A bit of brine/mysis or whatever it can manage to catch on its own is fine. Don't try and make it eat - it is WAY stressed at this point in time.
