Help! Is my GBTA dead??

[JLE]

We have had this green bubble anemone for a few weeks now. He finally chose a spot last week and has stayed put. He has been inflating/deflating on and off but his mouth has seemed healthy for the most part. He was fine last night and this morning he looks like this! There is a big emerald crab that has been trying to keep himself wedged between the anemone and the rock. Did he shred him up or something? I am assuming there is no saving this anemone?
Thank you!

Looks like he's upside down but I see tentacles so no he's not dead yet...not until he's mush...

How old is the tank? And what are your water parameters? I would pull him out now before he dies and nukes everything in the tank. If you are able to, set up a little quarantine tank and put him in there.

I couldn't tell if it was it's foot or mouth, so I flipped it. It is indeed his mouth- his foot is intact but he is pretty lifeless. Goner?

like jones said, if you have an option to set up a quarantine tank thats the way to go.

I had to flush him- no movement and bits were starting to come off of him and I didn't want to risk it. Depressed
Thank you for the help!
