There is a sticky at the top of the clownfish/anemone section of this forum. It walks you through it.

If mouth is not gaping, it may not need it and just need time to recover from whatever. Does it expand any with no light?

So yesterday when I flipped him over he expanded a bit then closed back up. This morning he was closed up still so I decided to move him. He's been closed ever since. I have a 60w with yellowish temp at the moment. Should I turn it off?

Give it a bit, if it was just moved.

Reading through the protocol, does day-time cycle mean, add the medication in the morning, then water change next morning, and add medication again?

Also, where can I get Ciprofloxin? Seems like chewy has it but was hoping for a local store.

Looking like this now. Doesn't look worse or any better. Tried to get a pic of mouth.

Chewy is only place I know of. As for cycle, best to treat with lights out. I run 4-6 hours a day light and as soon as lights go off, that’s when I dose. Do water change next morning.

Day light... Do I need a reef light or some kind of full spectrum lighting

Nope. Even gigs and mags do fine with just a bulb.

Chewy has it without a prescription. Just had to be “fish meds”. Bottle looks like this.

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’ve dosed cipro in DT with no ill effects as well with no water change

As close to 100% as you can get. Being as there is nothing consuming alk and all of that, just make sure new water temp and salinity match HT and you are good to go.

So it's ok to leave the anemone outside of water for a little bit?
