anemone help!

I purchased a "caribbean sea flower" (nem) three days ago, although I assume its really just a rock flower nem, all my levels were good and then out of the blue one of my damsels (who i have been trying for a week to remove) started nipping the anemone's foot!!!! so now the poor thing will not hold onto anything, i tried to hide him between some smaller peices of live rock but he insisted on moving still........now he's a bit deflated, still moves around a little but hes not looking great i was thinking perhaps this fish really stressed him out....is there any hope for my situation i dont have a sump other wise i would just move him...would it be ok to isolate him?? thanks for all the help!!!

 

can you post a picture of your nem? and your params also what size tank and how old is it?

 

Ill be posting a pic as soon as I get off today (assuming its not to late) salinity was at 02.5 right were i like it, temp was 77f i ran out of all the liquids in my test kit so i have to purchase another one, my frog spawn,mini max and the other rock flower are doing GREAT!!

 

And the tank is two years old

 

the damsel might have stressed it way to much normally if they wont attach thats a very bad sign. dont wanna say for certin though tell we see pictures

 

I figured as much......i hate that damn fish but its such an ordeal to get him out!! maybe ill just break down and remove my LR so ha cant hide from me......

 

If he comes near the surface when feeding, I've been luckiy with a quick net during feeding.

O/W breifly putting a bunch of your LR in a plastic bin will work, and for a short while, won't hurt the rock either.

Good luck.

 

Well.....the caribbean sea flower did not make it, my wife removed him for me and he just kind of wilted away.......so a loss but he was only six bucks so not a huge loss. I was talking to my "fish guy" who is not just a distributor but also a real good friend for 10+years and he thinks it was a little bleached out to begin with sorry for the lac of pics friggin camera would not focus for me. Thanks for all the help guys

 

Sorry for your loss.

 

Thanks, at least I got him out of there before major damage was done to my tank.
