I came home just now and found my anomeone looking really bad, I found out my 3 yr old son threw a quarter in my tank and it landed right next to him, like I said he looks pretty bad, I took the quarter out and picked the rock he was on and postioned him in a diffrent place. Will it get better in time, or is it too late, the quarter was in there for about 2 hrs, please help!!!

Not good! The problem is that most coins are made of copper--silver coins have a zinc coering, but the interior is copper (look on the edges, you'll see the copper sandwiched between to layers of silver). Copper is VERY toxic to all invertebrates. I'd start doing some serious water changes, immediately!

I would bring the invertebrates (like your anemone) to some store for a storage until you perform the water changes as was suggested before.
