Is this RBTA a goner?

[TrampledByEwoks]

Hello All,

Bought some equipment off a guy getting out of the saltwater side of the hobby and also grabbed this rose BTA this past Saturday night. Nem and all other nems in the tank looked healthy as can be.

By the next morning it ventured under this rock. Looked fine under there with being bubbly until I got home from work today and it looked like this. Is this thing a goner and if not what can/should I do?

For added context and if it’s not clear from the picture. The most concerning piece is the mouth in the center of the nem is wide open. I have a very happy healthy Rainbow BTA that’s never looked like this.

Nope, Let it acclimate to the tank and keep parameters stable

Just keep an eye on it hopefully the mouth will close again and the anemone will open up. Like said above might be trying to adjust to your tank . Worry if it can not foot onto surfaces anymore. Hopefully it will improve

Update: Mouth of nem has closed back up and overall it looks normal. Still hanging upside down in the alcove and hoping it finally moves itself to someplace that actually gets light.

Its alive but appears stressed. May be hiding due to excess flow or light
Assure phos is not elevated and as well as water temp and salinity
