Do you know what your water parameters are?
How long have you had the anemone?
Anemones are finicky about their water quality. The curling up inside themselves is a pretty natural occirence when they ar enew, theya re trying to adjust to the water around them.
Some corals do give off chemicals which can irritate or kill other corals. You may want to run some carbon to absorb any chemicals in the water and see if that helps.
Unfortunately we will really need more info about your set-up to be able to help ie.e water quality, lighting, size and age of system etc.

Without water parameters as requested, there's not much to say. I would be guessing if I said that your tank is rather new, and you may have introduced too much bioload at one time. That usually spells trouble with new systems, much more so for systems as small as a 37G. In other words it doesn't take very much to throw off a very new, and very tenuous balance.
I would take water tests done at a LFS as a waste of time, and invest in quality beginner test kits such as ph, ammonia, nitrates, and Alk.
