Two nems treated at the same time

I recently got two Ritteri anemones. I would like to treat both of them with cipro. Is it possible to do it in the same tank at the same time? They both came from the same tank.

I've been treating a haddoni, gig, and mag in the same tank. The haddoni died but the other two are doing well.

You CAN do it, but honestly I would not. Ritteri's & Gigantea's NEED clean tanks so when you do your daily 50-100% water change during tx you have to clean the tank sometimes fully by taking all the water out and scrubbing as it will make a layer of film after awhile. Putting 2 in the same tank just up's the need for cleaning as more stuff will come off of them together.

Well things were going very well till last night. I was in a super hurry when I got home from work and I changed out the water like I was doing everyday since I started. Well I forgot to plug the heater back in. The tank temp dropped to 70 degrees. The nems look worse than ever. I think now I'm going to lose both. I'm sick to my stomach over it.

Sorry to hear that- mistakes happen-dont beat yourself up about it. It does show the value of treating individually though, as mistakes such as this would have only effected one of the animals.

They actually didn't die. I did a bunch of water changes yesterday once the temp came back and when I woke this morning they were both huge again.
