Do you have the exact water parameters?
pH, alkalinity, salinity, nitrate, phosphate, temperature, magnesium and calcium would help.
How long have you had it? How did you acclimate it? Do you have a photo? What size tank do you have and what else do you have in it, are they healthy?

what do you mean by died? how long ago did you get it?
if it's just shrunken up, it's not dying.
i wouldn't worry about it unless the whole anemone seems slimy with visible slime falling off everywhere.
don't be mistaken by junk coming out of the mouth either, that's where they go to the bathroom.
anemones don't usually die right when you get them, they slowly fade away in bad water conditions.
unless you have a param. that's way off i don't think it would die as soon as you put it in the water.

200 liter tank without sump and an external filter
i have a silver spot tang a yellow tang two common clown fish a seprnt starfish and a sand fifting starfish with four shrimp and a few corrals ive had nothing die in the tank but it has only shrivelled up and its mouth has opened wide but it has now started to close up again and started to inflate again, could the flow be to high in the tank
amonia is at 0 nitrite t 0.1 nitrate 5 ph 8.5 but my calcium is a bit high so ive just done a 20% water change
i may need some more help with the anenomie as i wasnt very well informed in the store and was told it was easy to keep, thanksand lil man i think you might be right , i just got a bit worried when i read that an anenomie duying could kill my whole tank and it only went in a few hours ago thanks and how do i add a photo also i have a bit of a hair algae problem

If you just put it in it needs to expell all the old water and suck in the new water. It will look like a wet napkin on the floor sometimes.
Keep an eye on it.. If it really does not like the water it will do this OFTEN... But in the first few days it does it a lot to clear out old water inside it's self.
