Anemone problem

Here is what the BTA looked like when I first got it.

Here is what it looks like now.

Any ideas what might have caused this. I have a maroon clown that seemed pretty rough on it.

Looks normal to me.
Don't know how long you've had it.
They do close up w/out light or if stressed by something.
Sometimes if clowns are too big or too aggressive it can be an issue, but I'd give a few days for it to get used to it's new home and clown.
Just keep an eye on it, and don't mess with it.
Putting it in that bucket to take a pic is going to stress it, and it's naturally going to close up.

Just wanted to give an update on my anemone. She is doing much better now. Guess she just needed to find her spot.

Thanks for the help.
