I wonder if the oozing might be caused by some impurity in the cipro pills causing irritation? Just a thought

How long has it been since you changed water?

That looks a bit concerning but it could also be expelling something. If you have a HOB filter maybe could try running a bit of carbon. Not sure it will do much but couldn’t hurt.

I’m tryin my absolute hardest right now might do another change of water

Good luck! It’s had a few ups and downs so far so hopefully it pulls through! If you do a water change maybe 50% would be less stressful unless water is filled with mucus.

I am sorry but I don't think your beautiful blue Haddoni will make it. Sometime, we tried our best but it is just not enough.

Did 50%
As of now I’m chalking this one as a loss, unless for some reason we witness a full blown miracle. Right now I am positive however! Stay tuned guys.

The main objective for changing water is to get rid of all the pathogen in the water. If the anemone spew out stuff that clown up the water, U would do a 100% water change and add new medication.
Picture of you anemone is what some of us call "pancaked" which is a really bad sign. I have yet seen an anemone recovered from this stage. Mybe your will be the first. The last picture looks encouraging.
