Anemone foot injury!! Help me!!

[Eric Dumont]

Hi guy's

I buy an anemone two weeks ago , I 'm not sure if it is a heteractis crispa or malu... sold as a crispa..

I had in my DT tank for 1 week and did not fix by foot and never eat.
After reading this post http://www.reefcentral.com/forums/showthread.php?t=2271385

I decided to go ahead with the treatment of ciprofloxacin.

But putting it in my QT I noticed that the anemone had a foot injury.
I read that foot injuries can become infected and killed the animal, so for this reason I was doing the treatment as directed, cipro 250mg in 10g tank.

This is my QT
15g tank but filled with 10g of water.
50w Heater
Pump
Air pump
Par 38 rapid LED

The ciprofloxacin

Day 1

Foot injury day 2

Day 4

Day 5

Day 6

Day 7

After 7 days of treatment I do not see much improvement ... it is not fixed by the foot and deflated tentacles.

Day 9

The injury day 2

And day 9

2 days of 500mg of cipro in 10g

Day 17...



What is that??? I think it's going wrong...

It was a good idea to have used cipro?
What should I do?
Bath?
Another med?
Why?


Thank for your help!!

I had a H. malu with foot injury that responded well to Cipro treatment.
But I placed the anemone on a sheet of eggcrate so that the medication could reach the wound. It also helped to prevent anaerobe zones under the foot.

Maybe just place it on some eggcrate and see if it improves.

[Eric Dumont]

You can dip everything in anything. If you like the outcome is a different story.

Well it is looking better in the last picture, so it must be helping. I hope he pulls through.

 

[Eric Dumont]

This morning it's look better!!

Just the foot..

Looks like his insides out of the foot and there are brown pieces

 

[Eric Dumont]

So...
I think this is the end...

Oh no, how sad. You really tried your best for it!

 

[Bogue Chitto]

Sorry to see that, I hate it when we can't figure out what to do for them.

 

[ThRoewer]

I wouldn't flush it as long as it is still firm.

All you can do is to treat him and hope for the best. Sorry to see this. He was a beautiful anemone.
