what are this anemone's chances?

I received this guy yesterday morning. The nitrate levels in the shipping bag were over 100 and he looked almost inside out. I saw what looked like some mysis shrimp remains in the bag. So I'm thinking he must have pooped it out during shipping and it caused an ammonia spike.

Here's how he looked during drip acclimation.

Here he is after about 5 minutes in the tank.

Here he was this morning.

Here he is earlier this afternoon.

He has not moved from where I put him. It doesn't appear that he has started to bury his foot in the sand either.

give it a while

looks like normal shipping stress.

try feeding it when you notice it doesnt puff out it stomach any more.

they puff stomach out to rid toxins/waste and to help respire.

Looks like it's getting better.

atleast you know he accepts mysis shrimp so you shouldnt have to guess on food for him.

yeah i say his still stressed from the high nitrogen levels and being shipped he looks healthy otherwise and isnt bleached which is very good.
