anemones rarely suddenly die, except during shipping. its more that the dont show signs of decline. i would try to pump up the light any way you can, add some regular flour. shoplights over it, natural sun.
do you feed him? they can be brought back with feedings to make up for lighting. the carpet i got last summer was kept for a long time in a small tank with NO flour. light. it survived (sometimes i dont know how) with feedings of silversides. it was so weak it couldnt even grasp food, it had to be force fed. it was beginning to bleach badly when i got it. once under halides, it slowwwwly recovered. now he is back in prime shape.(i hope).
so all is not lost, but he is telling you something needs to be done now. hes asking for help.
