Start reading up on "Flat Worm Exit" or "FWE"

Yes, and yes. Just don't squeeze hard.

What systems do your run in your sump? 'fuge, skimmer, reactor?

Pick up your feather duster. I am sure it does not enjoy being on the sand...

Originally Posted by Nick76 No that wont work, they will just try to kill the butterfly again when u put them back into the tank. Damsels do not give up nor change. Take them back 2 the LFS Ok. Didn't know. I made a promise to myself to never keep Damsels, a while ago.

What size tank? What type of Anemone?

Like cpbirds said, let it heal. There is nothing you can do. Just hope/pray it makes it.

They're trying to host the mushrooms, because they do not have an anemone to host. Clowns will typically mouth their hosts to allow their bodies to get used to the anemone. Personally I would cover up the mushrooms, with some, like half a strawberry container or something. Anything that will...

Haiti is in the Caribbean. But really, I've found it to be more "plate" like, rather then boulders and round rocks from other areas.

There is no solution, other than to remove. You can banish them to your sump for a couple months while your butterfly heals up. Once she's all healed up, and settled in, reintroduce the damsels. Should work...

Per their natural habitat; they prefer to be on the rocks, actually more like in the rocks, but they usually take care of that on their own.

Use a large diameter tube and suck him out. Like you'd drain a tank, or what not.

Definitively Dendros. But not worth it IMHO. They're basically a large sun coral, but they're slightly hardier.
