I had an anemone in my reef tank for a year and it was doing great but i got a new one and decided to only keep one so i gave my brother the other one now the new one I have is connected to the rock but is slouched over. I checked it's mouth it looks fine no smell in the water just lifeless until i touched it and it slowly balls up. Srry my camera isnt working on my phone or I would show you a pick.
My sality is 35 ppt
phosphate 0
nitrate 1ppm
everything else is fine
I check those earlier today and just didnt think to write them down
 
If the other one is healthy there is a good chance that your new one was not fully healthy when you got it. Is it possible it had a tear in its foot? Also if adding a new nem it is advisable that you acclimate it to your lighting using screen sheets. If not they light may initially be to intense for them and cause them to inflate/deflate in cycles. Pictures would help as would some information about the tank (size/lighting/bulb age)

My tank is 150 gallons and I have ai sols. the tank the nem was from also had ai sols my bulbs are fairly new for the bulbl type but not really there about a year old but like I said led srry my camera on my phone wont take pics anymore for some reason it isn't deflated it just isnt perky it's like laying on it's side I know it isn't dead because it climbed up my glass today then jump off. lol
 
IME it sounds like a lack of flow. My anemones "wilt" if the flow if not good enough for them. Don't blow them away but decent flow may help. Try that out and let me know. Ty
