Just got home and looking in my tank, I see my nem looking like this. It has been doing good for almost a month until now. Some of the tentacles are shriveled up and in the center where its mouth is you can see all the greenish stuff. Is it dieing on me?

how long has it been like that? usually if the whole thing shrivels it only means either it just pooped and they will start looking flat after pooping but will go back to normal within hours or if some of the tentacles not all shrivels maybe something is just bothering it. it still looks big which means to me it's still ok.
i've had an original Nem 5 years ago when i didn't have any hallides but only pc and i was feeding it too. the nem didn't really like to eat and it started shrinking untill it just didn't attach to any sand or rocks and it just finally died in the tank then someone told me that they would not live without any high output lighting like vho, t5s and the best lighting for them would be hallides.
good luck with your anemone.

Going off of memory... you have another anemone in that tank, a condy correct? It looks like the pictured anemone got stung. It doesn't help that the pictured anemone is either bleached or dyed.

Yes I have the condy too. It is about to leave, but for now finally attached on the other side of the tank. This nem was died when I got it, I just didn't realize it. Most of it is out now and turning a slight brownish color. On a good note it opened back up overnight and loomed much better this morning. What is suggested to feed either nem?

Answered my own question this morning. I hate my condy, stung my malu again and was dead this morning.

condy anemones are cheap. you should just get rid of it. feed your other anemone some selcon soaked shrimp, pieces of fish, clams or mussels. it worked well with my RBT. it gives more color. lighting also helps out. a lot of anemones like hallides, VHO or T5s. hope that helps.
