When to remove an anemone

[lokii_37]

I have a BTA that split awhile ago. Both halves are next to each other but one is doing well and the other not so much. I feed them several times a week. Sometimes frozen mysis sometimes fish chunks.

The struggling anemone is very shrunken down, very short tenticals and a closed but protruding mouth. It has been getting to this point for about a week and a half now. I thought it was just doing it's deflating water change out thing, this is clearly not the case. It's not eating any more.

So I guess I have 2 questions, is there anything else I should try? And at what point do I remove it before it bombs the tank.

The tank is a 90g mixed reef, Running 2+ years. The anemone has been in the same spot in the tank for over 6 months.

BTA are pretty resilient and it may bounce back. But if you see that it can no longer hold the rock or parts of it are just melting away that would be the time to remove it.

Key sings are it melting away and a pretty strong odor coming from the anemone. Smells like dead snails. As long as you have strong lights you do not have to target feed the anemone at this stage. Better to let it heal up a bit then get back into the feeding. Unusual for a clone to be doing so poorly while the other one is healing well. Any pictures?
