Is this normal for carpet anemone?

[Court]

This carpet has been in the tank for approximately 3 weeks doing fine, is this normal behavior for a carpet?

No. Treat that guy ASAP. 3 weeks? Do you have a picture of what you call doing fine? Just curious, because they don't go from looking fine to that pic above quickly. Treat it with cipro in a 10 gallon, read up on the treatment, and do 100% water changes every day during treatment. Good luck. Keep us posted!

Cipro works, I just finished the treatment on two nems. A "Ritteri" and a Haddoni. They are now both looking incredible. Use a ten gallon as instructed. As for the water changes, change as much as you can, a full 10 every day to start, if possible, but at least 5 gallons per day after the nem has stopped releasing stuff into the water. I also dosed 250 mg. every twelve hours instead of every 24, even knowing that the light breaks it down. My Ritteri now looks amazing, is huge and is even getting glowing tentacle tips at night.

Have you started treatment? Do you know the protocol?

It also looks like a haddoni which like their foot in the and typically. Good luck on treatment. Hopefully it pulls through.
