Can this anemone be saved without cipro?

[cet98]

For the record, I do not have possession of this anemone.
It is at my local LFS but I have been offered the opportunity to get it at a reduced price.
However, I do not have access to cipro as no vets in my area are willing to assist with a prescription.
Can this be saved without an antibiotic?
If so, what would be the most effective alternative treatment suggestion?

Thank you for any and all experienced recommendations.

Your pictures seem to be missing.

I doubt it. If they are already looking in poor condition, time is critical to treating them.

I would leave it in the LFS
And get a good healthy one

I'd take a pass on it.

You may end up spending more on getting it healthy, than buying a healthy one.

I wouldn’t pay for it even reduced price even if I had Cipro . Only do this if you have prior experience. Not worth losing money. If they were concerned they should be treating with Cipro

It really depends on the anemone species and what condition its in. I can't see the photos so I'm not able to assess either.

FWIW, you can get cipro for aquarium use online, such as from Dr Reef.

You can also get cipro from an online doctor. Goodmds.com. Is it unethical, I don’t know. The prescription is at your pharmacy in less than an hour ready for pick up.

It breaks down so much easier than the meds from Dr. Reef in my experience.

No pictures are showing and what anemone were you referring to? The anemone is going to be your biggest factor.
