Is she still eating? If so, and if you can find it in a lfs near you, Dr G's antibacterial (frozen) food may help. It has helped some of my sick fish in the past and the fish have all loved it. Just a thought.

It looks like the scales are missing. It isn't protruding put of her. she is still alive this morning and it still doesn't seem to affect her. It hasn't gotten any bigger or smaller this morning.
Sounds like damage, whether it is a wound inflicted by the anemone or something else. The million dollar question is whether or not it will get infected; if that happens she could go down quick.
Of course, the best thing you can do is QT and treat with antibiotics as @melypr1985 suggested. But in lieu of that, I would do some water changes (to keep the water clean), and food soak vitamins and/or antibiotics. You can use the frozen food @prsnlty suggested, or make your own by food soaking Kanaplex using Seachem Focus to bind the medication. Both options are reef safe.

Well, my LFS is over and hour away and I don't have my drivers license so I have no way to get there. I do have metroplex and focus. Would that help? I also have selcon to soak her food in. Would that do anything? Those are the only medications I have right nowSounds like damage, whether it is a wound inflicted by the anemone or something else.

I 100% agree. Better safe then sorry. Strengthen her immune system and some antibacterial food wouldn't hurt.Sounds like damage, whether it is a wound inflicted by the anemone or something else.

Not he has become a darker the color, it has become a darker color
These are the best pictures I could get. Do you guys think the wound looks better for worse. He had become a much darker color
She is till eating great and acting normal. I have been watching her and I don't see any signs of sickness

She looks pretty darn good. You've done a great job there.
