Hello.

As the title suggests my anenome has had its guts spilled for the last 2 weeks. Here’s some background.

The tank is about 2 years okay. It was gifted to me from a friend about 3 months ago. 2 days before the tank was given to me the Anenome got stuck in the wave maker and 90% of its tentacles were chopped off. Everything was cleaned and it made a great recovery. The last two weeks though it has had its guts out. The water parameters are all within range, and have been in a consistent range since I got the tank. There’s been no fluctuations. Nitrates, nitrites, ph, salinity, ammonia, and temp were all checked. I do water changes every 2-3 weeks. The only change that’s been made is a switch from mysis shrimp to brine shrimp. I can’t figure out what else to do. There is no slime coming out of it

I’ve been spot feeding it for about 3 months and it seemed to be eating fine using its tentacles to eat. They’re fully grown now since it got stuck in the power head

I can't really see what is going on. Is the white area its mouth, or the side of the column?

Mouth like that for 2 weeks is very bad, and I'd consider treating it with an antibiotic.

I’m assuming use cipro? I don’t have an emergency set up, I have 5 gallon bucket, heater, and air stone.

I’ve never done it myself, but that’s what I was suggesting. Hopefully one of the anemone experts will chime in.
