Purple tip anemone pleaee help

Is it dying anything I can so to save it the water is totally fine just did a water change

What are your water parameters? I don't know what it looked like pre-water change, but I'd wait 24 hours and see how it's doing then.

Mouth that wide open it’s definitely extremely stressed. I’d Turn lights off & wait 12 hours to see if it’s better or worst. Anemones are known to be miraculous!

It seems like it's desolving a bit

So should I turn off the light ?

Good news is it is still hanging with its foot, so not close to death
May I assume your tank is yet somewhat new?
Most anemones are sensitive to water changes and require pristine conditions to stay in good shape. Failing to meet their needs can result in early death and damage to the tank environment as a whole. Yes, getting caught in a power head is a concern but rarely occurs.
The most important thing you’ll need to take care of before you bring your anemone home is perfecting the tank and water conditions. You should never place an anemone into a tank you just set up.
Take some time to get parameters just right and let the closed environment cycle for a few months. This ensures that conditions are stable and safe. Anemones prefer warmer temperatures. Water should be on the alkali side as well. Monitor water conditions regularly to avoid any major changes. Ammonia and nitrate (<.04 -.06) levels should be undetectable at all times using a good quality test kit and Not API either.
Here are some water parameters to follow.

• Water temperature: 77°F - 80°F (stay close to the middle of this range)
• pH level: 8.1 to 8.3
• Alk: 8 to 11 dKH
• Salinity: 1.024 to 1.025
• Nitrate < .5
• Phosphate < .04

When you first introduce the anemone to the tank, turn down any pumps. The flow should be minimal until the anemone gets settled in. Chances are, your anemone will move around the tank until it finds a suitable spot to call home.
If it starts to move towards any coral, simply direct your water jets to the coral. This will discourage the anemone from anchoring near it. It will move to another area to attach.
Anemone lighting is a very important aspect of their care. These anemones need a lot of light to thrive because they’re photosynthetic which means that they absorb light to produce food and growth. The anemone has zooxanthellae in its body, which are symbiotic microorganisms that they feed on. Without proper lighting, the anemone will expel the zooxanthellae and turn white. This process is called bleaching and often leads to death.
A moderate amount of flow is recommended. Many aquarists soon find out that too much flow will cause the anemone to stretch out and look stringy. Keeping things moderate will help avoid this from happening. Avoid directing your flow directly at the anemone. These anemones enjoy subtle movement at all times but too much direct flow hitting the anemone will force it to move.

No

It it IS actually dissolving, it's too far gone.

Was it like this Before the water change? We need some more information to be helpful.

How long has it been in this state, Was it progressive or just happened overnight?, What has changed with your tank? When was the last time you fed it? What are your actual water parameters? Fine means nothing. Objectively. How long is your tank been established?. We need info.

I would Not turn the lights off, lower them sure. Not off.

It's still holding on with the foot which is good thing. Do you have a small tank you can set up for treatment if needed?

Yes I have small tank I can set up treatment , ammonia was 0 nitrate 5 nitrite 0 , haven't check the water after a water change , my tank been more than a year

 

[Crazyfish928]

The problem is how can I get it off the rock for treatment

There's a Lot more questions up there we need info on..

 

[Crazyfish928]

It's been a little deflated for 2 to three days but it still open up I try to feed it yesterday

Yeah it is like this Before the 10 percent water change

Here is another picture

 

[Jekyl]

Need an accurate (not API) reading of nitrate, phosphate, and alkalinity. What type of lighting is being used? Also I'd recommend finding somewhere to order/veterinarian where you can get some cipro. Might not be necessary, but if it is you'll have a jump on time.

Disclaimer: not an anemone expert

But I see some cleaner shrimp in one of your pictures, are they new? Or did they recently show a new interest in your nem? I only mention this because I currently have been dealing with a cleaner shrimp who is harassing my green bubble tip, enough to make it move halfway across my rock work to get away from it. Sounds weird but I have actually been training the cleaner shrimp with positive punishment to stay away from the nem. It was so bad that I thought my nem was going to die one day because it deflated and looked real ugly. After convincing the shrimp to stay away, my nem has gone back to normal.

Not saying this is what is happening but just something to watch out for, since when I searched about this on this forum I found others saying this has happened with their shrimp and nem too and some said that the shrimp will harass it so much that some die.
