I have a magnificent anemone that decided to take a walk into my gyre pump last night. I think it may recover but a bunch of it’s tentacles tore off before I noticed. I think one of them must have stung by hippo tang because it is breathing heavy, has its muscles cramped and flexed to the side. And is showing dark marks on two sides of its body that weren’t there before.
I’ve done one water change already with more planned once I’m sure the nem has healed over any open wounds. All the other fish and coral in the tank don’t seem stressed. Just this one tang.
Is this the right diagnosis. And what do I do about it. My first instinct was to put the tang in an acclimation box to observe it. But it still swims well and couldn’t be caught.
