My rock flower anemone walk toward the heater at night and got all shrivel up. It also spit out it internal organ. Are there any chance of saving it?

I agree, I haven’t seen one come back from being that bad. I did have one shrivel once, thought it was dead, next day-back to normal.
I’m in the process of putting together a “what the heck” thread for rock nems and all the crazy things they do, what let to it, how long they recovered, etc.

Apparently, I lost the anemone.
 
Yeah, sorry. Once they open their mouths like that the end is usually near.
 
I anemone proof my heater now so my other rock flower anemone and mini maxi anemone not going to die.
 
Good to hear you covered it. I lost a nice brain coral from a conch pushing it onto the heater!!
