HELP!!! My condy anemone has DEFLATED

[banik]

Help!
I have had my 2nd shipment of LR in since saturday night (5 days), and when i got home from work today, i noticed that my anemone has deflated.
Is this normal? Is it dying? Is there anything i can do to help it?

My tank conditions are:

Temp 80F

Am=.25(was .5 yesterday so may be breaking)

nitrite=.4 (high, but don't think i am not supposed to change water until Am gets to 1)

Nitrate= 15

PH=8.2

Your condy anemone has only the oral cavity for both eating, and, umm, performing the other bodily function (#2, if you prefer).

They will shrivel up when performing #2. They generally reinflate after a few hours.

Mine defalted and then moved. He seems happy now.
