magnifica anemone Deflated... HELP?

If you've had this anemone for 3 years and this is unusual behaviour for it, I would check over your water parameters.
Otherwise, I consider it normal behaviour, as long as it doesn't last too long, like a few days. Do you have any shrimps? I've seen them tear into an anemone to get food that it's recently consumed.

my nems also tend to deflate a bit after a feeding before they poop. But like Mitch said if you have had it for 3 years you should know its tendency's fairly well by now. Start checking parameters if you are worried . Do you have anything hosting in it ?

It looks fine to me, it seems weird to me that you haven't seen it deflated in 3 years.

I agree, mine does this sometimes (usually to poop lol) its pretty normal. These are sensitive to abrupt changes, especially in salinity, but it should recover.
