This anemone is not doing well. It is bleached. It looks to have been deflating at some point too. I would suggest treating it with cipro in a quarantine tank.

Agreed. That is a very sick nem. Have a look here for instructions on treating with Cipro... http://www.reefcentral.com/forums/showthread.php?t=2271385

Yes you got a sick S. gignatea. It will not make it without treatment. Even with treatment, it likely not going to make it.

Unfortunately I have to agree. It may already be dead. Once the gig becomes "limp" it rarely has enough energy to recover, even with antibiotics. You may want to check for tentacle movement, or any sign of life. If it doesn't move at all, you may want to consider moving it to a flat plastic dish, so it will be easier to remove once you know for sure that it is dead. If you don't, it'll make a mess in your tank, and it may end up killing your other inhabitants.

All that said, if you can get your hands on antibiotics ASAP, I would still try to save it.
