This morning, note the stringy looking matter in mouth and around tentacles, it appears to be attached where ever they are.

They were only noted to be coming out around the tentacles at first and only the mouth today. It still is responding to touch and protecting the mouth by closing up

This morning after last nights treatment of 5 gallon wc and 250mg dose of cipro. Mouth almost fully closed tight and other than short tentacles it is looking better.

This is right after the light went off and before tonight's tx.
To me it is improving a lot, I noticed today there appeared to be a mucus film excreting from the outside. Almost like a layer of the exterior flesh.

Levaquin is a much more expensive medication. If you want to use it, you should use it the same way as Cipro

Anemone is now very responsive to touch and seems 100% better. It still is currently in the ht tank but without tx. I am truly amazed with how it looked like a goner when first started and now it's doing great

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 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
Picture
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.
What should I do?
It was a good idea to have used cipro?
Thank for your help!!

the foot appears to be getting better. I may DC TX and observe another few days. I will begin to treat my RBTA which is in bad shape and will post them here as well following Mihn's method.
Deep thanks to all that have contributed. Also, I was on vanco IV for 12 weeks due to a spinal infection. I know it was all a joke but I'm nearly 20k in debt for meds and infusion alone for one infection.
