I just turned off the light in my tank and i turned on the light of my living room and i look back in the tank and all of my anemones tentacles are like sucked into the little body at the bottom. Also my clownfish is now just laying at the bottom of the tank. They were both just fine 10 minutes ago. Does anybody know what possibly couldve happened? Advice please?

What you're seeing is normal behavior for the anemone. Mine do this when the lights go out as well. Since there's no light, the anemone doesn't have to "spread out" to take advantage of a light source for photosynthesis, and the "pulled in" form probably offers it protection against other organisms that might brush up against it or nibble on the tentacles thinking they're some kind of worms.

copper has it, when the lights go out they have no need to extend their tentacles, turn the light on in the morning and 15-30 min later he will be waving around,
