Sometimes I wonder if the food we feed is not great. Even if its super fresh or frozen from fish store. Perhaps it introduces a new bacteria into the nem causing it to do this.

I've thought the same. I've wondered if they dont digest it well enough and it sits inside them rotting so to speak ultimately causing problems. I feed raw shrimp for human consumption but nothing "fresh" we get is as fresh from inside the ocean.

Raw shrimp is often treated with preservatives, most common is STPP. I can't prove that it harms nems, but anything that can release phosphate while the nem is digesting it, concerns me. There are better options to feed nems; I typically recommend wild salmon or sushi-grade tuna.

Regarding your situation, I think the dead leather is the culprit. Definitely do a big water change and continue to run carbon. I QT all of my potential additions to my nem tank, and usually what happens is my QT tank gets a little fuller, because I don't end up adding the coral/invert to the nem tank.

He was definitely sick, hopefully I can get him back going. Has not deflated any in qt, some weird contortions and the typical tiny particle discharge though.

I think if he’s eating then you probably didn’t need to pull it. Sick Anemones don’t eat. I would have just done multiple water changes to get your parameters back in check and I’m sure it would have been fine.

Eating response had slowed dramatically to the point that I had to pull it from him.
