I’m sorry to say but there’s little chance of feeding it when its tentacles are retracted and its mouth is gaping like that. In this state I would say it is better to leave it be and let it attempt to recuperate its energy. I know as responsible fish keepers we all want desperately to do something to make sick animals better. However, I would highly suggest you leave it alone for now. That is probably the best and the only thing you can do for it at this point. Sorry I couldn’t offer a better solution. If anyone else still has a better grasp on a treatment option please chime in!

Oh, so just for safety reason would the death of this anemone affect other anemones + GSP? Or only the fish is in danger?
