I miss all the good stuff when I go to be early!

OP what have you done since last night?

How does the nem look today?

I would listen to @fishguy242 @Lost in the Sauce and if @Eagle_Steve @F i s h y has anything to contribute I'd listen to them aswell.

If this was a torch I'd tell you step by step what to do.

BUT it being a nem I will leave it to lost eagle_steve, fishguy and fishy as they keep MANY MANY more nems

quite the ego you try and protect, any chance you could offer some good advise?

This man has done more for this site and members than 99% of everyone else on it.

Do a little research on who you attack before you jump on them.

He IS trying to help.

Here is the treatment protocol for sick nems and cipro.

Protocol for using antibiotics to treat infected anemones

This is a re-post of what I wrote in ReefCentral on 3/09/2013 Many anemone keepers know, the collection and shipping process from ocean to local fish store (LFS) is a stressful event. Most host anemones do not survive this process without help, especially H. magnifica and S. gigantea. Other...

I would suggest following it exactly as written.

For removing the nem, a nem cannon more than likely will not work. My suggestion is to use a very cold spoon to touch the foot fo the nem an entice it to let go of the rock. The removal does cause some stress, but the nem needs to come out of the tank. In the shape the nem looks to be in, you may be able to gently "peel" the nem from the rock. Trick here is to be patient and take your time. If you can get a little bit of the foot to detach, just touching the remainder will usually get them to release.

From there, just follow the treatment above.

For the WC part, it is not an issue to change 100% of water with a healthy nem. Some BTA may split if the alk or SG is way off, but for a sick nem IT IS ANOTHER STRESSOR, that needs to be avoided if you are going to remove and treat.. The fact you are removing it and then putting it into a QT tank is enough stress as it is.

For the treatment above, I would suggest using old tank water for the first day of treatment and then 100% new SW for the remainder. With it being a BTA, you can scale everything down to a 2.5 gallon tank if you want. This saves on water and the amount of cipro you use overall. Just be sure to watch for cloudy water. If that happens, 100% water change and redose back to therapeutic levels.

What did I tell ya'll just before he posted

 

[Andresnyc93]

+1 on cipro treatment, doesn’t look too far gone but need to act on it instead of just “hanging tight” also I don’t mean to be this person BUT your tank is far way too small for the tang you have in there. Poor guy probably feels trapped. Unless you’re planning an upgrade later on I would try to rehome the Yellow tang.

 

[Lost in the Sauce]

thats up for debate, his large water change criticism was not bright. I do these professionally and id give one to OP if my advise was wrong.

hanging tight was what killed his shrimp and is killing his nem

terrible advise, what is he going to do? peel a sick nems foot off the liverock.

Buddy, we're all here, for the same thing.

You are aware there are different ways to skin a cat, correct?

The advice I give and the advice you give, Don't need to be the same. We all have different experiences and information to offer. If yours differ from mine, great, let's have a conversation about it.

A WC will Not save THAT anenome, and a large WC is Absolutely a stressor to anenomes fish and coral, unless EVERYTHING matches up perfectly. These aren't crazy statements or something you need to get angry defending your disagreement to.

That is a much better looking picture than page one.

You've got the protocol linked above, read through it a few times too familiarize yourself with it and follow it to a T and your nem friend should be good to go in 10 days! If you don't see large changes in the first few days, Be patient. My last Cipro nem treatment, the bta looked to be on death's door until day 5. MASSIVE change into day 6.

Keep us updated on progress.
