That anemone looks to be in really BAD shape. Absent treatment it'll be a pile of goo within a few days. I cannot tell what kind it is for certain, but if it's a magnifica they are very tricky to acclimate and are prone to bacterial infections. Gaping mouth and deflation are reliable symptoms of such an infection. If you don't treat it with antibiotics it's almost certainly a gonner.
