Anemone dying?

[Liron Mishal]

Hot home today and my 1 day old anemone took a walk into a power head.
Its a very small power head with coars foam inside (quarantine) but she managed to get partially stuck.
I got her out and now doing a 50% wc.

Is she gone and beeds to be out of the tank? Or should I leave it there?
Some of her tentacles looks ok, some looks terrible..
Please help

Anyone? Im afraid that it will kill my qt...

I’ve had this problem before too...how’s the foot? If the foot isn’t torn/damaged it should recover. If the foot is damaged, not looking good. I can’t tell from the pics, but if it’s just the oral disc and tentacles, good water quality will help it heal on its own.

Agreed, if there’s no foot damage the chances are good. They rarely recover if there’s foot damage. Make sure you add protection so this doesn’t happen again.

Just give it few days to recover, if it getting worse, treating may be needed.
Also turn the powerhead off for at least 12hours when introduce a new nems, in my experience

How is she today?

Amazingly better!
Yesterday after i got her out from the powerhead she looked like jellow..
Today she was more inflated and except of some bad looking tentacles, she looks good!
Thanks for asking! what a great community

Glad to hear!

Looks to be a magnifica? If so it would be a good idea to order some ciprofloxacin in case it gets an infection. I would say at least 80% of Magnifica anemones need treatment when they arrive. Mags are very tough to keep initially but pretty hard to kill once they are settled and healthy.

I was seting up some more tanks for qt and thought I should update.
Anemone looks great! Fully recovered and eating a chunk of shrimp every week.
All is well, thanks guys
