So I got a bad anemone that was huge and it died since I had gotten it straight off the plane...shocked the entire tank I'm assuming and everything is now dead except the clownfish...not sure where to go from here :'(

I really don't know what to say. I lost a wrasse i had for over three years because i through a lightning bug in the tank that flew in through the window. He ate it and i think it killed him. I feel horrible so i can imagine how you feel...
 
Thanks everyone...it is definitely terrible, I've had most of these fish for over 3 years now and they grew up in my tank. I know I can replace them but it's just so sad to see such innocent creatures dead and they all hold some sentimental value. I got that yellow belly hippo tang before he even had a yellow belly at just 1" in size and now to see him out of the water, he was as big as my hand. Got the blonde naso from my cousin 2 years ago and the sailfin and foxface I've had since the beginning days of my 75G about 5 years ago and so on and so forth. Idk if I can start all over and fear this happening again :(

In terms of what happened, no I didn't put a bad anemone in my tank. I got a new mertens anemone that was about 18" and it came straight from the wholesaler, so as soon as it came off the plane I acclimated it and went in my tank. The first day (Thursday) it seemed ok and then it remained kind of just ok till some time last night I'm assuming and on my lunch today I came home to ground zero pretty much.
