How old is your tank?
40 hours is a pretty long time. I wish you luck!

43 hours is a very long time to be in a bag. What are your parameters?

And i forgot to mention the bag was all murky and was all really dirty

The nem likely defecated in the bag. They can be very difficult to keep. High light and high flow. Good luck.

Did you mean nitrites 0.07 or nitrates?

It looks like they damaged the foot when they removed it.

Leave it were it is currently, stop moving it around. Keep the water parameters stable and watch it constantly. Mix up some fresh saltwater to have on hand. Do you have cipro just in case you need it?

@OrionN recommendations?

I feel like this is the time for a everybody poops reference. lol

Not sure how your qt is set up but make sure you have a powerhead (covered) and heater as well (just saying as some people forget these things).

An over turned coffee mug or clean flower pot for it to attach to as well.

Post pics every now and then to update.

You should treat him as soon as possible. If you have an antibiotic other than Cipro, let me know and I can suggest a dose for you. When you have cipro, you can switch treatment to Cipro.
The sooner you start on treatment the better the out come. Best of luck.

Lol I know, if you eat you poop.

"pulled off"? Was this Anemone attached to a rock? It kind of looks to me like the foot has been torn. If that's the case it can be difficult for the nem to heal and recover. I would make sure the QT has somewhere it can wedge itself and recover (rocks, cup, PVC cutout). It could be just very stressed, either way I would leave it be for a day or two and let it fully acclimate to your tank.

Ok ill do that the first thing in the morning about taking pics. My qt is a boyu 12 g nanocube with 18 watt 10 k lighting . Yes i have a heater in there and i also put a power head i turned it on and the anemone did not like it. About the coffe mug where should i put it i mean next to it or should i put the anemone on top of the coffe mug. And i also put a small skimmer in ther for it to take all the bad stuff out. Thanks for reaching out

I currently am not living in the us so getting those types of anti biotics are pretty dificult and i cant order from amazon because they dont bring it here. If there is any homemade way i can do it i would really apreciate if you would tell me how thank you! And also thanks for reaching out!
