Are you sure it has a torn foot? I might have missed it in the picture but I do not see a tear. I just see waste around it's foot.

For the pic with the blues on.. it could be expelling waste. How often is it doing so?

Is the mouth gapping or closed tightly?


EDIT... I'm dumb and have to scroll up to see the tear in the first pic.. I would just leave it be and let it heal itself.

It looks nice and healthy in the latest pic.

If it were mine I would wait until it was settled a bit more before I attempted a light feeding.

Could be hungry, mad, or who knows.. I set up and put my LTA in a QT. He has a gapping mouth since I brought him home a week ago..
I have alone in a 5.5 gal tank with a Kessil A150 above him. He he improves in 5 days he will go back to the DT, if not he will get treated with Cipro for 7 days.

You are going to need a much deeper sand bed for that anemone to be happy longterm. It in the pic at least, it looks very shallow.

I wouldn’t feed it..... at all. I am guessing it’s none-too-often that it would get large hunks of shrimp
