White pearl like on anemone

Not sure what this is but he's new to tank (about 4 days) and has looked great up till this today. He has shifted a bit last few days on sand bed in corner.

Maybe a poop, do you know what it was fed before you introduced in your aquarium. blow it off with turkey baster, suck it up and place on a ring

I hope that's all. Not sure what it was feed at lfs but I gave it and tank a shrimp blend yesterday I think. I'll go check if it will come off.

OK so it's attached to a white stringy coming from the mouth

So this is the anemones today, I guess he's a goner right? What would cause this? My other corals, firefish and shrimp are doing great and happy.

Possibly torn when removing from previous holding tank. I would remove and dispose of before it causes negative impacts to your water column and possibly other inhabitants.

He was great first 3 days I had him. Showed no issues or injuries, just sucks was so happy to find him. There any other reasons for this also there's no way it just a lot of poop, what is all the white stuff?

They aren't totally dead until they become a pile of goo. If it's still relatively firm it's just doing very poorly.

Should I just take the loss and remove before a possible nuke or is there a chance to help him

How big is your tank?

Evo 13.5 with stock hood. I do have some flow (sicce.05 and sw-2 wave maker) but turned it down a had him in the corner with least amount. He keeps opening and closing but I'm assuming the white stuff on sand is him melting?

I just took him out to check on him and he smells of death and old eggs so I guess he's a done. It really sucks, my tanks going so well in its first year and this is my first coral death and my favorite to look at. Thank you for help

I just looked at his bottom side and it's split in half pretty deeply

Just fyi it was a rock flower anemone. Pretty much the easiest anemone to keep. No anemone should be put in a new tank. The general rule of thumb for new reefers is to wait at least 6 months before adding any anemone.
