Looks like it. Or a Majono anemone which is still bad

Darnit that was my first frag in my new tank. I read about injecting it with lemon juice. Or should I take it back to the store

I've heard that lemon juice works - personally I use aiptasia X. Works great, as long as you make sure you get the entire top and fill the tube.

Make sure you turn off the pumps, powerheads etc first.

A direct syringe shot with a couple mls of b-ionic component one works great.
