You can slit the mouth in half and it will easily survive. The mouth and foot will take some time to recover though.
Despite being torn, it did pretty well in shipping actually. A poorly shipped one would have perished.
Is this DOA? (Nems)

@Bob Loblaw I wholeheartedly agree with you, good sir. And full disclosure on such a drastic step is important especially if one has no idea of the possible infections and such that can be a fatal outcome if one is unaware of how to treat it has not dealt with something of this nature.

;Punch;Rage;Punch too mad to even ask
seller said 'torn' not fragged, which i don't quite believe yet (i agree that it looks like it was cut down the middle)
seller said do an iodine dip

You are much more composed than I would be if I opened a shipping box with a nem in that condition. It's easy to see it's a beautiful nem but it's was not ready to ship. I'm personally against fragging nems but I know it's done frequently. That's all I'll say about that in a public forum but grrr makes me angry to see one in that condition at the purposeful hand of a human.
He looks on his way to recovery - I'm sure he'll be as beautiful as your other nems before you know it.

I could see how the seller may have just torn the foot when removing it for shipping and decided to ship it anyway. I hope you will forgo the refund and try to just save the animal. It looks like it might recover with some TLC.

Btw, your other nem is beautiful! And you obviously have good watertight so for your other nem to be that happy. So hopefully this one will heal also. Good luck and let us know.

Someone out there put something smart here.
Another option: Horrible
You should never ship a nem that has been freshly (in the last week) cut or torn. Much smaller chance of survival. My wager is it wont survive the week.

I sure hope not.
The OP surely deserved and I'm sure paid for a entire healthy anemone.

Yes.
OP, If you see this, Message your seller and ask for a refund.
It is unacceptable to ship a nem in this shape.
