I just received my green bta anemone from liveaquaria and the bag was so cloudy I could barely see it. After I acclimated it still looked horrible. Can anyone tell me what’s wrong with it ?

It's incredibly close to death. I'd be prepared to do as stated above. Or be preemptive and pull it now

Just monitor it closely. They dont break down that fast. If it continues to turn inside out or goes mushy, remove it. If you can get it into a separate container, I'd do so.

Not looking good bud.... if i were you, i would put it in a hospital tank so you can monitor and perhaps even treat it. I would not keep in the display at this point however.

Thanks for the advice. I already removed it and as I was taking it out it started coming apart. I put in for a refund. They sent a bad one !!

They probably didn't send a bad one, it's been in the 30's at night (assuming that's Westchester New York in your location), what probably happened is the heater pack ran out and the temp dropped real low. This just happened to me with a couple of Skunk Cleaners, thankfully the YWG and the Japanese Snapping Shrimp (Pistol Shrimp) made it. But even the macro algae in the order suffered and I've not been able to nurse it back to health. When I got the bags the water inside them was 45 degrees because the person forgot to activate the heater pack :-|
