The Uglies? Is this Diatoms?

[((FORDTECH))]

I was able to grab it safely and it’s in the basket now. It’s still moving and the foot is still trying to attach, so fingers crossed but I’m not holding my breath. I have never seen an anemone look so awful. I feel really bad for it & awful that it’s likely my fault. Was looking great a week ago.
now it’s on to the WC and allllll the scrubbing. Ugh. Good thing it’s a Sunday at least.

For what it’s worth I’ve personally had worse that made it thru and still have in my tank today. Rbta got sucked into mp40 for 6-8 hours while at work. Came home found it As carefully as I could removed it from the cage but the body was mangled to hell parts of it missing its foot was even damaged looks like a blob of nothing way worse than yours and over a few weeks healed it self and got better.

That makes me feel better! I’m glad yours recovered. My clowns that it was hosting are just lost without it right now. They are pretty rough too though, so it could have even been them causing extra stress. This one was like 9-10” across but they managed to kill smaller ones before by just beating the crap out of them.

Hi! The anemone is still looking pretty rough… maybe a little better but not much. still floating in its basket and the foot is attached, so I’m considering that still a good sign.
I did end up doing about a 15% WC yesterday, dosed 25ml of MicroBacter 7 and manually removed some of the hair algae. I also turkey basted the rocks before the WC and sucked out what I could. My water is cloudy today but I’m guessing it’s a small bacteria bloom of some sort?

Wait, the cloudy water is not from bacteria… it seems that ALL of my Red Banded Trochus snails are having a bit of fun today. Yuck… but as long as they make some babies!!

What’s up with tropic Marin salt?

Long story, there are several threads here on the topic. I’d be happy to share my experiences though.

Did your nem survive?

Sadly, it did not. My clowns are lost without it too.
