Anemones do shrink themselves from time to time to defecate and change the water inside themselves. Has your nem been like this very long? How long have you had it?

I honestly wouldn't worry at this point. He's attached, color looks good and the mouth isn't gaping. He'll probably be back to normal tomorrow.
How long has your aquarium been established and what kind of lighting do you have?

How many bulbs?
Anemones are pretty delicate and most folk will caution against adding one to a new tank, even if you used "old" water, rock and substrate. the general recommendation is at least six months and preferably at least a year old tank.

Do a water change. Ammonia should always be zero in an established tank.

It is pretty safe to say this anemone is not going to make it. The best advise I can give is please do your research before buying any more livestock. Anemones are delicate creatures who need established tanks a the best of times, it is unlikely they will survive your tanks cycle. I would also suggest that the LFS who sold you this should not be in business. Ask questions here to get honest answers and take people's advise. It will cost you a lot of money in dead livestock if you don't...

It looks a little worse I think. A gaping mouth is a bad sign. How did you acclimate it? Is there anything else in the tank? How far into the cycle are you? Post all the parameters you can...

How big is the tank? So you set it up and added fish/anemone straight away?
