Is ma anemone dying?

[janiktibi]

Hello guy, I have ordered this anemone on Materfish and they send me this Sick looking anemone. It was supposed to be green anemone premium but it doesn’t looks nothing like that. Also it came damaged, open mouth as you can see and damaged foot as well. Should I request refund? Thank you.

Can you give some details please? How did you acclimate it? How old is your tank? Parameters?

Looks like acclimation stress to new environment. If this tank is less than 5-6 months, you may have challenges. They are best in an established tanks not subject to sudden changes in chemistry especially elenated nitrates and phosphates.
When introduced, you want to reduce or turn off flow to allow them to set their foot in a chosen happy spot.
Assure they are not in path of high flow or bright light which will stress them and cause them to hide and even shrink.

Did you take pictures right away and send to vendor? Looks like damage to the foot in multiple spots with mesenterial filaments coming out and the peppermint now picking at it. You will need to isolate the nem from the shrimps until it either attaches so those areas are not accessible to the shrimp or until it heals up. Nem looks to be in rather poor condition.
