This is an article regarding brown jelly disease for euphyllia. This may not be at all related to what's bothering anemones, or yours in particular, but it does give dosing information for in-tank treatment of a cipro-sensitive bacterium.

I just finished using cipro in my tank, because I had an RFA that started gaping and continued worsening for about a week or more. It picked up and moved around quite a bit and lost most of its skirt. Began dosing cipro at ~0.125 mg/L (crushed half a 500mg pill in 25mL RODI and added ~0.5mL to my 13.5gal every other night at lights out, no carbon). 8 days later, nem is still skirtless, but attached and at least not gaping. That's my anecdote. Hope it ends well.

I've used cipro with success in treating finicky carpets in my 45g. If you had the resources I recommend dosing in a quarantine tank, but if you don't then dosing using the method Joe mentioned works wonders! If the nem is still sticky and starts closing its mouth after treatment then it's a good sign that it's recovering. Wish you luck!
