How to treat Heteractis magnifica

Good day! Please advise how to treat Heteractis magnifica, it has stopped inflating, is drooling, and has already polluted the entire aquarium. All water parameters are normal, the only thing is that the pH has dropped a bit.

Is it attached to the substrate? If not, take it out of the aquarium and smell it. If you detect a smell of decay (you won't confuse it with anything else), then the only option is to flush it down the toilet. Have you overfed it recently? Magnifica is the most temperamental anemone. It requires large volumes, stable systems, and even then, it can sometimes surprise you. Try adding some current. A photo of the problem would also be helpful.

I recommend taking them out and observing them in a quarantine tank. I had the same situation where in one day all the fish laid eggs and I had to throw away half of the soft ones over time. Is the water cloudy?

The light was not changed before the incident - especially the MH? My quad-color bulb tore in half on the fifth day after switching to the Chinese 14000K. It was in the aquarium for five days.

I apologize for not responding; I completely forgot about this topic. Unfortunately, the magnifica died. It turned out that I had a young aquarium, and magnifica are very sensitive in this regard. Unfortunately, the seller didn't mention this when I bought it. That's how it is.
