Is anemone dying? Help!

[ASfish93]

Hi,

I recently ordered a green bubble tip anenome from the divers den. Upon arrival it looks pretty sad. The mouth is wide open with white coming out of it? I am new to saltwater and this is my first anenome! I've had my tank for about 8 months and it has just been fish and live rock, but my parameters have been staying steady and good. If anyone has any advice I would appreciate it!

Looks bad but not yet dead
Assure not too much light or water flow and that nitrate and phosphate not elevated

Have a hospital tank and some cipro? If not I'd order some. Round of treatment can probably save it.

Not to say it won't survive, but things aren't perfect for sure. @Eagle_Steve

I've had a nem that looked just as bad and it made it through with treatment in a hospital tank. Don't give up yet! If you have some cipro on hand then it might be worth trying to save it.

Thank you for the replies! I will try the cipro and hopefully can revive it.

Good luck with this one, it looks pretty rough. I've tried having nems shipped 3 times and have never had one make it. I have given up having them shipped.

I am having a hard time finding the cipro (I thought I'd just be able to go buy it) is there any alternative or product that would be safe to use?

Hello, I got home from work today and found that the anenome did not survive. Thank you for all the help and advice.
