Title says it all. I got this rock flower anemone about a week or two ago. Since leaving qt and hitting the tank, several things have happened. Firstly, it disappeared for a few days. After I found it, I moved it off the rock it had adhered to (facing the back of the tank) and moved it forwards. Since, it’s been blown around a bit, never really sticking in one spot. It’s finally ended up in one spot. But its mouth isn’t really closing, and I can see a little bit of its stomach coming out. Its tentacles are still moving periodically, and it’s partially adhered to the sand bed, but I’m worried about it. Can it recover? Is there anything I can do to help it? I don’t think its foot was torn when it went into the tank, but I’m not 100% sure.
 
It can recover just fine , firstly stop messing with it it will only prolong it adjusting / healing. Looks pretty good to me , let it be and keep stable parameters and once it finds a spot , feed a tiny bit of mysis

I haven’t touched it since it reached this spot two days ago. Today, its foot is fully adhered, which I’m taking as a good sign, but I see what I think is a little disintegration on it. I’m hesitant, but hopefully it’ll recover. The porcelain crab that was hosting it is slowly moving closer to it too, not gonna touch either, but I wonder if the crab hosting it again would help the nem recover? I dunno. Fingers crossed

Crab won’t help , but I don’t see it harming either. I had a nem that looked rough when I got it , I simply left it alone and maintained stable parameters (didn’t do any changes for the nem) and it has fully recovered and currently hosts

Remove anemone from a surface is very stressful for them. You likely damage its foot. That is why it is not attaching. Leave it alone and hope for the best.
