Would you yank this RFA from the tank?

Got 6 RFAs recently and one decided to latch onto a lobo and got a pretty nasty sting. It stayed balled up for a day but then started to open back up. Now, on day 4, it’s somewhere in between balled up, opened up, and dying. I’ve heard they’re resilient, but I’m pretty close to yanking it and tossing it.

What would you do? For reference, this is a 5 gallon tank. So it’d be much easier to become a victim of anemone nuke than something a little larger.

I would have done the same rather than risking dealing with the die off

Yep I let it stay in there overnight but this morning it was looking even worse. Crazy that a lobo could sting the hell out of a nem like that. I should have taken some pics right when it happened. Nem latched onto the lobo and a few of the nem’s tentacles were literally boring into the lobo’s flesh when I pulled it off. The lobo is completely unharmed. Tough little mofos.

Coral warfare is nuts. Especially when the “loser” can nuke the whole tank
