GBTA help!

[TheAngelfish]

I got a GBTA from a friend that had a gash near it's mouth! it mouth is gaping but the foot and tentacles are not stringy. I also smelled it and it was not stinky ( trust me i know what dead anemone smalls like). What are the chances of recovering for the gash and how do i fix gaping mouth and the tank is a year old and is my nano clown fish tank.

Here is what he looks like at today.

It's really hard to tell from your pic, but it may be trying to split?

As an example, I picked up an RBTA last Wednesday and put him in my QT. I didnt have my heater protected well enough and he moved and burnt an area about 1/2" x 2" along 1 side.

He reacted much the same way as yours, didnt deflate but tentacles got short and mouth gaped for 2 days. He's now back to normal, eating and fully extended 1 week later.

I did a ton of research on here and the one thing that probably helped in my situation was that it was a very sterile environment in my QT. Had this been in my DT, it might've been a different story.

In my opinion, your nem will likely be fine given time to recover.

Where is the gash? Do you have a better picture?
