Then got to about half that size and moved with rock to qt tank.
Last night did the same but body didn't deflate like tonight.

Now in qt

I don't think there is much else you can do. Move him to QT and treat him and hope for the best. That alkalinity/pH spike must have done him in or severely stressed him. Good luck with him
 
Looks like it pooped and some nas shells came out also. Is there any harm in treatment of cypro if it didn't need it? I probably over reacted, but didn't want to chance it.

Should I do a week of treatment or how long?

If the crab came out of the mouth then that probably irritated it... If its in the QT leave for a few hours and see how that goes... Make sure you have strong current but don't over do it either. If it doesn't get better then treating it would be the option.good luck keep us posted.
 
From my understanding cipro on a healthy gigantea does no harm.. As. Precaution I would do the full treatment.
 
Gigantea do not deflates or have their mouth inverted like in your picture unless they are sick. I do not think treating with Cipro will hurt it. In you case the mishap with your Ca reactor likely is the trigger factor. It may get better on it's own but then again you may loose it all depends on how much damage that spike did to a stressed, newly shipped anemone.
 
Came home from work and gig looks bad again, looks like it is has crap coming out, little pebble like. Is that crap or something else?

I think it look better. Just suck out all the sand and whatever else that he put out and add new water and add antibiotic. Hope for the best
 
Minh,

Is it purging? Bad food or something else?

NM I read more above, I guess I skimmed it earlier.
 
I think it have great potential of recovering. I see that it is getting better from when you first put it in QT
