My bubble tipped anemone keep falling off.

[Aquaphilic]

I tried to introduce a bubble tipped anemone to my fish tank, it tried to attach itself to the rock several times.. but keep failing and fell off.

When added it to the tank, it wouldn't sink and keep floating, I used a clean rubber glove and tried to help it attach.

It moved and attached for a while, but as soon as I turned on the air pump/airstone, it shrinked and closed itself and dettached from the rock.

I tried to turn off air pump and let it attach, and whenever it attached it would fall off again..

The next day it shrinked and became very wrinkled, and sunk to the bottom. I tried to put it on a rock again and its not moving at all.

Is the anemone dead? When I got it from the LFS, I touched their tank and its very cold and my tank is a lot warmer, 25c.

Is there a problem with my rock temperature? Or is the air bubble disturbing it so it wouldn't attach?

I removed it and placed it in another tank today to prevent it nuking my fish.

I want to put an anemone in the tank for my clown cause it seems very depressed. (sunk at the bottom and not swimming much). Any help appreciated.

2 more of my fish died today... I have no idea why. I tested nitrite, nitrate, pH and salinity.

Nitrite and nitrate came up as zero, pH about 8.5, salinity or density 1.020, I added some seachem prime (hydrosulphie) to make sure no toxic form of ammonia are present (cause I can find the test kit in my LFS).

My protein skimmer has been a bit crazy lazy.. its either making no bubble or lot of bubble. The liquid in the waste cup is like dark brown and near black. I think they are just the sulphur from the seachem prime.

I felt so depressed, I have no idea what I did wrong...
