Tube anemone stung clown

[KamsReef]

Hi all,
My occ. clown got stung by my brand new tube nem. The clown was a bit disoriented at first but now seems paralyse, gasping and at the bottom of the tank. I know tube anemones aren’t true anemones but I didn’t expect it’s sting to be that potent? The other clown is steering clear of the tube nem.
Any advice?
Thanks
Kam

I would suggest removing the tube anomene. You don't want this to happen again. For the clown, the only thing u can do for now is to let him rest.

The clown will recover from the sting after a couple of mins

Thank you, he seems like he’s getting better :)

And watch out for any smaller fish. I doubt this would happen, but if a small blenny or goby would to run in there he might not make it out
