The unfortunate one and only anemone (it was a BTA) that I've ever had, when it was at death's doorstep, had become very bleached, had shrunk in size and stopped expanding, and had very shriveled tentacles and a gaping, loose mouth. Overall, it looked loose and "flabby"--very floppy and sickly, kind of like a bean bag with most of the stuffing gone. I've seen other anemones in stores that were dying and they had much the same look. They almost look like they're melting.
