That's not looking so good. 8O Did you turn it upside-down to get the shot? Or did you find it in that condition? Looks like the foot is completely ripped open.

Hi, no we didn't turn it over to get the shot. We found it that way. Have you ever seen or heard of this condition before?
We moved it to our fish only tank where our tomato clown can not pick at it. Our clown was nipping at the orange stuff and it was coming off flying around the tank. It seemd like the clown was trying to help it, or was the clown hurting it? We don't know, so we moved it out of that tank.
It's color is good. It just stays all bundled up. We are keeping a very close eye on it. I don't want to keep the condy in there, if there is danger to its tank mates.
We don't know what to do.....
Please help.
Thank you!

IMO, that thing isn't looking like it's possible for it to recover from such a major tear. Was it previously attached to the rockwork?

Well, not really. We noticed it went back in the rock work. It would just lay there all balled up. So, being the positive people we are, we brought it out hoping it would recover, we noticed its foot and we put it on a rock and it would attach by a thread. It would stay there then the next morning we would find him back in the rock work.
All day yesterday, it wasn't looking good. I don't know if it was dead. There was no movement and it was not sticky. I was worried that it might release its toxins before it died, so I flushed it down the toilet.
I am sorry if I offend anyone, but we did lots of research to find out what was wrong with the poor guy and could not find anything. All we read was if it dies, it could release toxins and all the fish may die.
I would love to know what had gone wrong with condy. I think as you said his foot got torn. Maybe he would have survived, but maybe not. I feel terrible, but I felt I was potentially saving other lives.
Please if you find anything, let me know. I will be doing more research today. Maybe I will get lucky and I will post my findings to help others.
Thank you,
Andrea
