I like going 7 days regardless of how it looks.
Then another week in QT with water changes as needed.
It looks good. Some of mine deflate at night a lot more than what yours looks like.
I don't think I'm being overly optimistic when I say that I think you're in the clear.

Ok so tomorrow morning I will do the 7th Cipro dosing. If we count the shop's Cipro, it should be 2 weeks total.
I'll keep it in QT for another 7 days. I'll start off with 50% water change daily. I'll do more if needed.
Also, I'll start introducing tank water as I do water changes.

I would stop treatment after day 7. 3 days observation then to DT if he looks good. I like to have mine attach to something other than the tank, so I can just move him and don’t have to detach him from glass befor moving. Attach to something also allow me not to turn off circulation right after transfer.

Day 7. lights are still off. about to turn on in 2 hours. Looking good still
I found a little more black expel at end of Day 6. Nothing today.
here's the expel at end of day 6. There was nothing at Day 5. It had been balling up at night for 2 days. Probably trying to squeeze these turd out

Looking good m0nkie.
Can't wait to see him in DT.
If you don't have any anemone in DT, you don't have to wait to transfer. If you do, then 3+ days with no deflation is enough IMO.
Initially, I don't put anemone in their permanent place but I put them on a rock or cup or whatever they attached to (in hospital tank) in an open area. If they do well there, I transfer them to permanent place. I am usually pretty good in picking place for my Magnifica, Gigantea and Haddoni. All most all the time they stay where I put them.
I really hate to separate anemones from their attachment. IMO, this really stress them. They often do it themselves if we put them in a less than ideal situation.

Definitely agree with this. I just sold my blue gig the other day and it was a 2 hr process to get about a quarter of the foot detached. After that I gave up because I didn't want to totally destroy the entire foot and just chipped away as much of the rock as possible and sent it still on the rock. It was definitely a stressful process for me and the anemone.

JMHO.......
The anemone is in desperate need of some light and flow.
Awesome job with it so far.

If it were mine I’d go straight to the display after day 7. Nothing really to be gained by observing in a Qt tank if you don’t have any other gigs IMO. To be honest, if it goes downhill after cipro you’d be unlikely to save it whether it was already in Qt or if you had to pull it out of the display to attempt to retreat anyway. I think getting in a well established tank with much more stable parameters will help it more than anything else at this point. Don’t blast it with too much light initially though.
Oh. Well maybe stick with the 3 days observing then. I'd still probably take a chance if it were me but being cautious can't hurt.
