Small power head---big anemone---911

Now he isn't in front of powerhead but I am about to have a battle royale between him and the bubble coral. I'm guessing the anemone would when that one.

This guys has not left this corner since the incident. Deflates in the day and inflates at night. Mouth sets open in the day and tightens up at night.

Any thoughts?

Here is an updated pic 3 weeks after the powerhead incident. I just leave him alone but he has retreated to the back of the tank and only periodically pops out of the rock work to get some light.

He will inflate but not for long and mostly sits under the rock all day long deflated.
 
New to treating corals and anemones.

Any certain way to do this? I am not really setup to run a QT. Is it something where I could remove him and dip him?

Well, it made it for weeks before it died. It never really ever wanted to come out from behind the main rock. When it did, the tentacles would inflate and look really nice for a little bit but then would go back behind the rock and not come out for most of the day.

Last night I came home from work and found my tank very cloudy. I started looking all around the tank trying to see what it could be and everything went great. However, I checked for the anemone at the back of the tank where he had been hiding and he wasn't attached to the rock but simply floating in the spot he was at. I removed all the rock back to the anemone and found that he had an entire hole through him right down the center of where his mouth used to be through his foot. Not real sure if that's just him falling apart or what but I never found the rest of him and assumed it just disintegrated and he was nearly an eighth of the size that he originally was when I dumped his corpse into the trash.

I guess he got an infection and never recovered. My question to you guys would be this. It is only the second day and the water is still cloudy. I checked for ammonia and nitrites and nothing is registering. It is simply staying cloudy. Do I give it another day to let it clear up on its own or should I try to do some type of water change even though the ammonia nitrites are not registering at all?

The fish and all the corals still look great but the water is just cloudy. I assume it's just a bacterial bloom that will eventually go away.
