Help with Ritteri anemone

[Dhira]

Hi I recently got a Ritteri anemone it was completely bleached when I got it and was eating fine in the main DT it moved around once then detached itself so I put it back in the same place fed it daily with small pieces of prawn after 2 weeks in the tank it deflated more than usual and stayed like that for a day it usually inflated and deflated a lot I didn't think much because it was getting fed everyday
Nitrates <5(tank is around 4 years old)
Salinity 32 ppt
Temp 28C (will be getting a chiller this week or the next)
I have other anemones in the tank 3 beaded
2 green bubble tips
And a tube anemone they're all doing fine I moved the Ritteri to a 5 gallon qt to treat with Cipro on Friday it still hasn't shown any improvement I dose with 125 mg of cipro change the water every night after lights off take water from the main tank and wipe the tank with Rodi water before filling it up it's now Monday and it's still not looking good

This is how it looks now do I need to increase the dosage or should I move it back to the DT I dose 125 mg rn it’s a 5 gallon tank I was hoping @OrionN could help

I’d keep up with the cipro treatments for at least 7 days. It doesn’t look that bad, so keep up the treatment.

Don’t feed it when it is not well. Don’t feed more often than every 3rd days. It took anemone at least a day to digest the food. And don’t feed it anything that is smelly or fishy smell (spoiled or not fresh)

I would finish with full treatment course.

Aside from it being bleached, I think it looks fine. As long as it is not deflating, it should be fine.

Since you started the treatment, you might as well finish it, then observe it in the QT tank for another week. If all goes well, it can be moved back to the DT.
