I bought a really red RFA on saturday, but I noticed it's foot was a little torn.
Now, it doesn't look too good.
What will happen to my water if it dies?
And how can I save it?
Please I need help!!!

how big is your tank? If it's of any size at all, nothing is likely to happen. Is the mouth gaping open on the nem? what makes you think he might be on his way out?

46 gallons, so I don't need to be worried? I just got my nitrates down.
Some of the tentacles have turned into goo. And the mouth isn't gaping, but it's really folding on it's self.
 
Can anyone help me please?
 
Take it out of the tank. It's dying
You would need to be more worried about an ammonia spike than anything else, but since it's obviously dying, take it out of your tank.
 
it does not look to be that unhealthy... it looks like it is feeding on particles from the water.

Do you have anymore pictures? Mine open their mouth as if it is folding while they eat. I have 7 in my tank.
 
Half of it's dissolved into goo, but I have no way of taking it out
 
do you have a baster for basting turkeys or anything? how about a small dixy cup and scoop it up?

Something that small will not crash your system.
 
Bumb deal - thats a beaut. U said u cant get it out? Did it attach itself to that rock? Thats a good sign at least. Mine looks as tho it turns itself inside out when feeding. Gets these crazy puffy lips look. If its dissolving tho - not a good sign
 
It's on a rock, so I don't think I'm getting it out. Good to hear my systems gonna be okay.
