It's difficult to say sometimes with anemones, since they deflate naturally, and at times extrude their digestive tract... but since anemones are known to smell very bad when they are decomposing, I think chances are very high that your anemone is dead. My condolences.

Anemones are very sensitive to water quality conditions. If you keep good water conditions, the better chance you can house an anemone. Good Luck.

Since I'm quite partial to anemones it saddens me that people don't do more research before buying this creatures and consequently kill them.
