HELP!! Anemone problem

I bought a blue carpet anemone about 2 weeks ago. The first few days it did really well. About 2 days ago it separated from its live rock. It since has gone from the size of a dinner plate to about 3 inches in diamater. I think its dead/dying. Any suggestions, or ideas for saving it ?

how much light do you have? they like a lot of light. also what were you feeding the carpet. i used to feed my carpet silversides. how are your parameters?

sorry, it is not doing well. anemone's are tough to keep.

carpet anemoes like more current but not enough to where they fold over..
