Thumbs down Unhappy Easter- dead sebae, sick clown, cloudy water

It has not been a great day.

My anemone that I was so bold in putting in at only 6 weeks was attacked by the tiger cowrie a few days ago (tiger now returned to LFS) and lost about 20% tentacles. He's been struggling for the last couple of days, seemed to rally, then shrunk down again. This morning he was down from 4" across to 1.5" and dumping mucousy looking crap from the mouth. The clown had totally abandoned him and was hiding behind rock.
This afternoon the water conditions were way worse, major NH4 spike and heavy clouding. Anemone had been dragged behind the rocks by the hermit (I suspect). I removed rock and retrieved him- totally unresponsive, not even a single tentacle wave. RIP Sebae.

Upon removing the rock, I got a good look at the sad little clown, and he has what looks like a "burn" on his left (port?) side- see attached pic. It looks vaguely like brookynella, but I can't really tell.

At this point the anemone is removed and I'm leaving the filters/pumps off for an hour to settle any particulate debris. I'll skip tomorrow's feeding and avoid any changes for a few weeks.

The question- any ideas from this pic if this is an injury or infection? I have to edit my sig.

That sucks! I can't answer your question though. Can't see too good in the pic. and I've never experienced anything like it.

Sorry for your loss, have you thought about a water change to help it all out?

I did a 20% change yesterday while the sebae was still there. I did an 10% after removal, but I hesitate to perform any more right now...

If you have a siphon with a "tank vacuum" expander, try to get the pieces of anemone crud out of there. I would consider a 10-20% water exchange, too.
Can't say about the clown fish. Chances are it's an injury. The odds of getting a disease on the same day would be small, I think.

Clown didn't make it. Woke up this AM to find him making breakfast for the hermit and peppermints.

It wasn't brooke- the spot didn't spread at all. He had been eating well and swimming normally, I really thought he was going to pull through.
