Hole through anemone

[Chuu]

Can anyone advise.

I have a bubble tip anemone that was missing in the rockwork for a few days after being out and happy for a few months. Yesterday, I noticed it face down on the sand.

I picked it up and it has a hole about 2cm in diameter right through it from it's mouth, down through the foot. I put it on the rock and it seemed to attach still.. this afternoon just got back from work and it was in the sand, under my cataphylia...

Picked it up again and put it in a little hole in the rock and it appears to have taken hold again.

Not sure if it's a botched split or if something else is wrong?

Can't get pics just now as I put it in the hole without thinking to take pics first.

I have 3 other BTA's all doing well and 1 Magnifica doing well too.

Cheers

Sounds like a wait and see scenario to me. Perhaps it started to split and just needs to finish. If you think it is not going to make it, you could always try and split it yourself. Just a thought.

Had the same scenario. Died after a few days. Make sure it gets enough light but not too much. And make sure you don't have a clown annoying the heck out of it.

Good luck
