Anemone dying

[lisa28]

I have a 55 gallon mixed reef, this nem has never looked good since I brought it home. Early it's mouth was open so I figured this was it, I went and bought a bunch of water and carbon to keep from crashing my whole tank. When I started to try to get it off the rock my clowns came after Me so I stopped and started adjusting my power head to annoy it so it would let go on its own instead it reattached where I had got a little bit lose and closed its mouth. :banghead: now its mouth kinda looks open and I think it's guts are coming out but it is still attached, upside down and partially inflated!! Here's some pics lemme hear some opinions please!

doesn't look like its dying. mouth still looks decent and isn't gaping wide. i'll wait it out a few days and see how it goes. if it deflates for a long period of time and mouth starts gaping then you'll know it's time to remove it.

gl!

Seems like its still okay...I wouldn't worry until its completely deflated with its mouth wide open.

It looks to me like it's hungry because it's still attached, but it's tentacles are stubby. How often do you feed it?

Looks chronically starved to me as well.

It doesn't look too bad. What type of lighting do you have?

It's a green bta under t5. it was starving, but it refused any and all food, I put him in qt for a couple Weeks so I could monitor every drop of food, it truly wasn't eating so I put it back in the tank and now it's starting to go it's zoo. Back and filling out a little, maybe he just needed a little vacation. :banghead:
