A newbee with a nem Stichodactyla haddoni

[Mudbeaver]

The photo labeled "This is her at noon" shows the beginning of the puffy pancake stage. The nem is starting to flatten out, losing it's distinctive folds, and the tentacles appear to be balding. The mouth is beginning to gape and the siphonoglyphs are exposed.

As others have recommended, I would get a QT tank ready and prepare for Cipro treatment. I have not seen a single gig bounce back from the puffy pancake state without Cipro (and I have probably monitored at least 100 gigs on message boards and in person).

I don't know where you get your Cipro but here its prescribed by a doctor, or vets, and the only vet qualified for fish in my region is on vacation, so its a goner i'm affraid . i have the QT all ready. Thanks for your help i'll get her out of there before she dies and polute the whole system. Buddy is gone to his dads death bed i learned so he can't help me . The only guy who could of done sonething for her. So out of luck i guess. He probably have some cipro in his cabinet.

Cipro on eBay is the easiest, but it's a little late for that route now.
Your doctor or any vet can prescribe it though, it's not something people abuse so there shouldn't be much issue getting it prescribed.


Your guy sounds like a snake. And while his father could be dying, it seems like an excuse to me, but that's more for you to decide since you're the one that talked to him.
I doubt he has cipro though, or he'd of told you to use it from day one.

None of them wanted to do it, yesterday, did 16 different offices. As for the guy who sold me i got the info from his neigbor, he left in a hurry that day , so lets move on , by the way the nem has moved and his not looking that bad today. can't take a shot its too dark still but she's all perky , or seem to be. We'll see today whats what. i was sure she'd be a goner but very suprise to see like that, she's not flat at all today. thanks for your support in all this by the way.I'm still going to try to get that Cipro for futur use in case...

What is the outcome of the anemone?

The poor thing melted before i got the meds, from ebay. The guy who sold it to me wasn't happy he said he'll give me one when my system is more mature. He said he treated an infection 2 months prior to this and it must of still be in his tank or something. His dad passed away in Val D'Or thats about a 1000km away so he stayed 2 weeks there , thats why i could reach him. Thanks for all your help. My system is very healty he said and its comming along very well.

Hmm so all the people here you questioned and doubted were right... Bummer an innocent creature had to suffer because of it.

Good luck next time around.
