Tank Emergency Can anyone please tell me what I should do with this anemone? It had a ripped foot and now a week later it looks like this

I’d say that guy is beyond saving, I wouldn’t keep him in the tank.

If it had damage to the foot, unfortunately they usually don't make it. If you can isolate it in a colander or in an acclimation box you can monitor it closely. I would not be to hopeful, you need to be able to remove it quickly if/when it dies.

This is what I should have said, but I am always trying to be optimistic.

Ok. I removed it now what should I do with it. I will feel horrible flushing it if its still alive

unfortunately it is what it is. I felt terrible flushing mine for the same reason, but do you have to do what is best for all of your tank inhabitants. you've already removed it, not much you can do now if its been out of the water for very long

I would have just left it as is and continue to monitor. Nems can bounce back given time. And a torn foot is not always a death sentence. When nems split, guess what? The foot tears.

Decrease white light. place in path of moderate flow and see if it responds to a small feeding

I feel your pain. Tried to save one, but then the water started going cloudy.
