Will this anemone make it?

[Aikachinatsu]

I purchased a rose tip anemone yesterday and came home to an unexpected tank crash/mini cycle.. The anemone spent a lot of time in QT today but the lights weren't good enough for it there and it would primarily roll over onto its side or onto iits tentacles. It was extremely shrunken and its mouth was open a lot. I eventually figured that was enough and I put the anemone in a breeder box in the DT with QT water so it would at least have good light. Now it looks like this. It's still sticky to the touch. Does it have a fighting chance?

That species is quite resilient, so I think it has a chance. They like to attach to holes in live rock, so you should provide it with that.

That's difficult because the only place I have for it is the breeder box right now. It can't be in the QT because it hates the light and the DT is in the middle of the crash, and it's the only good light I have... Will the anemone survive in a breeder box for a few days provided with water changes?

Can't tell what it is.

They need water circulation. The circulation for a BTA should be strong enough to make the tentacles to move gently. I would be concerned that the water flow in a breeder box is insufficient.

I guess the whole event was just too much. Couldn't be in the display tank, and couldn't be in QT.. No place for it but the breeder box and it ended up getting flushed. QT crashed as well from the sick anemone.. Just awful

Sorry to hear that.
