Urgent Anemone Question


I have a Greet Bubble Tip Anemone (entamacea quadracolor) and I've had it for over a year and it has been thriving, growing, full bubble tips, and eating everything possible. Now, it has lost it's tenticles and is just a disk. It's not dead, it is still pigmented and not gel-like, but it looks pretty rough. It has plenty of light, it situated itself at the bottom of my tank. The parameters are fine and stable. It doesn't even inflate to eat food, it trys to capture the food but can't eat it. It has been like this for a month but has not improved. I need to know what I can do so this doesn't crash my tank, I have no quarantine. Please help, I would like opinions on what could be wrong. Please. Thank you.

I don't know very much about anemones so hopefully someone else will chime in to tell me I'm wrong and give you the right answer. Could it be splitting???

I have Metal Halide. He's fine with the light, he would have moved to the top if it wasn't bright enough. He also stayed fairly compacted. I have one clown hosting. I can't get a picture right now but he is just a disk and his tentacles are fully retracted.

I would remove the clown to see if the anemone improves in its absence. Clowns aren't allways the most well manered guests in anemones.
