Should I switch antibiotics?

[Tango451]

It's day 5, mouth still has not closed. Looks ok otherwise and has moved twice which I am hoping is a good sign. 125 mg cipro in 5 gallons is current treatment. Should I switch to Bactrim (septra), up the dose of cipro, or stay the same?

In your opinions is this anemone going to die regardless or is it possible it can still pull through?

Here is a pic from just now

It looks great to me except the mouth according to Minhs sick nem protocol i would treat it with the same antibiotic unless it starts going downhill

My Gigantea have mouth open for months before they stay shut

Yes. Your nem looks fine. Mouth will shut on its own with time.

Oh I'm glad to hear that! After the treatment finishes, is it ok to place into tank even if mouth has not closed or should it be kept in qt until it does? (I'm assuming once treatment finishes after 7 days that anemone is no longer a risk to infect the others?)

If everything look good other than a mouth that is not quite close then I would put him into DT

Anemone is sticky and attached and mouth has been getting smaller and smaller. Sometimes it's a little bigger but other than that it stays the same. So given he has had one week of treatment with cipro and not deflated once is it a go to place in dt tonight?

Put him in last night. It and the red looks fine escort now the purples mouth is slightly and I mean slightly open and it has stayed that way since last night. Tried feeding the purple and it stuck but didn't grab it/ eat it in seconds like normal (still holding onto it 15 minutes later). Is this normal? (It's my purple not the one I just put in - that one is the same other an open mouth)
