Is anenome a goner?

[Risk1994]

Had a run in with a powerhead. Cleaned out the water, hes attached himself to the egg crate again and hes moving around...so alive at the moment.

Any chance of recovery? First shot at an anenome?

He was going into my DT today, but the storm delayed a delivery I required.

Not sure but I had a nem that got mostly destroyed in a power head and healed up great

if its stomach is inside out then yeah its pretty much a goner.

hard to tell with photos as i cant see the mouth clearly.

 

[Risk1994]

not sure how to tell if its stomach is inside out.

Just leave it alone, keep it stable.

:(
the foot looks ok, it can recover and make new tentacles from that

 

[Risk1994]

Hes moving around...note the cage around the powerhead

Why are you ******* feeding him? You are stressing it out.
We told you to leave it alone and keep it stable. You're going to kill the ******* thing. All it needs is light and stable water, and with light, not even alot right now. Leave it the hell alone.

I wouldn't be feeding it until it was fully healed, eating a chunk of shrimp takes a lot of energy that the nem could be using to heal instead

Sheesh ok...didn't know feeding caused stress...first anemone.

 

[vetteguy53081]

If its moving around, it may be due to too much/little light and same fir water flow
Moderate light and water flow plus feedings 2-3X per week with a piece of krill or mysis shrimp

A piece of raw shrimp is a tough little piece of meat, and it's really easy to overestimate how big of a piece to give them lol not all feeding stresses them, some foods just require more work than others

Which is why I said leave it alone and keep it stable.

It literally meant exactly what you should be doing right now. No more no less. I've had nemmies with the foot torn and brought them back healed up and living normally. Just leave it alone.
