I cut my nem the other day into 3 and two of them are doing good and the one is not. It is deflated and just doesn’t look good what do I do to help it?

Not much. Stability. This is the risk of manually cutting nems.

What type of anemone? Some species rarely survive being cut.

How did you cut it into three pieces? It makes more sense to cut it in half, and then the halves into quarters--that's why I'm asking how you ended up with three pieces. Depending on what was cut, some pieces may not survive at all. They typically need a piece of the mouth in order to make it, and ideally you want to cut it bilaterally and include a siphonoglyph.

I cut into 3 because I wasn’t sure if the two small ones would make it so I left one bigger. It’s a type of bubble tip CSB
