Help! Anemone tore!
Please help! My green bubble tip was attached too two rocks, one rock fell over tearing my nem. I have 3 clowns and 3 nems. This is the only nem being hosted by a clown and it’s my favourite. I really dont want to lose this guy. Any help would be great! Do you think is will survive? I cannot tell where the mouth is and if it’s still in tact.

Update: the bubble tip anemone has split into two. Both parts seem to be walking around but I have no clue which one has the mouth. Is that common for a torn bubble tip to continue walking around for a while without a mouth? Or maybe it will form a new one? Please help. They are now in QT so if they don’t make it, they won’t polite my DT

Both parts are likely to survive. You could try giving them a bit of food to see whether they can eat. If so, that'll help keep them healthy.

Small foods like mysis a couple times a week are best, it looks kinda light/semi bleached, that will help regain health and color to fullest.
BTA commonly split on their own, but a cut or tear like yours often results in splits, should be fine 3 clowns on the other hand could be trouble down the road as they mature and pair off fyi

BTA often survives events like this resulting in asexual reproduction.
