Shriveled Up Condi Anenome

[nemofan]

Last weekend I got a generic condi anenome. He was dropped on carpet when I was picking him up. He lost a few tentacles. He was doing fine until tonight. He is all shriveled up, attached to rock on one side and has some brown slime coming out. What do you think? Is there anything I can do. Thanks for your help.

is the slime coming out of the center of the anemone since he was fine until tonight I think he might just be releiving itself they only have one way in and out so. IMO just watch it the next day or so it should come back as long as there wasnt any sever damage done by the dropping of it.

Anemones are pretty tough to physical damage. I peeled one out from being jammed in a bulkhead filter screen once and he puffed right back up in a few days.
Condi anemones are the toughtest of them all.
As long as he doens't start to fall apart into chunks, he's not dead. Don't pull him out until that starts to happen. Until then, just watch and wait.

Thanks for your tips. It must have been the lights being off. After about 30 minutes he perked up again and looks good. I just haven't seen him so small.
