Failed gig treatment? 2 round of Cipro or switch to another antibiotic?

ok thanks, when the nem grows larger, it will cover the clay parts anyway so everyone is happy

No luck It only went downhill since the end of treatment and I think this is the end of the line:

It may still hang on for a couple of days, but the point of no return has long passed.

+1. Once they stop responding to treatment, it's simply a prolonged death. I tend to think that the antibiotics simply act to preserve the anemone as it's already dying. Furthermore, by the time we see necrosis the nem has been dead for longer than we think. Best of luck on the next one.

Funny thing is, this morning it looked a bit better. It's pretty much sure that this one is a gonner but it seems it still has some fight in it.

Well, Saturday evening I flushed it since I needed the tank for some new fish.
It was still firm and sticky but had all the time its mouth inverted out and was just flapping in the flow.
