Aenmone Doomed?

[zach]

Well, I woke this morning and I was looking at my fish tank, I realized then that my anemone had made its way up onto the glass and my powerhead sort of sucked the anemone in to it. (The little slits that suck up water down at the bottom) I'm not exactly sure what I should do to help it because I'm afraid if I try to pull the anemone out of the powerhead it will injur it/kill it. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Here is an image of what it looks like.

By the way, I did already turn off the powerhead.

try to unconnect the bottom section of the powerhead carefully as not to damage the anemone.

Leave it alone, let him work himself out of the power head by himself, if necessary you can try to detach anemone and power head together and place them on the bottom of the tank.
Do Not Yank or Try To Pull The Anemone from the device, this can only add to the stress and damage.
Run some fresh carbon anyway to help clean up any fluids that the anemone might have excreted.
Your going to need to get some sponge filters for those power heads after this.

One of the splits from my large anemone ended up getting stuck in one of my rios a little while ago by the foot. A decent portion was stuck in the screen and I actually did 'rip' him free. Today he is in my 55 and doing quite well actually... I was kinda worried that it may kill him. I am not suggesting you do that.. but im just telling you what happend. If you keep conditions good yours should make it. (once he is free from the rio).

It mades its way out of the powerhead, its looking pretty good so far, but there are a few spots that got a little injured, nothing serious though. Hopefully it will turn out fine after a while.

i had the same thing happen with my conalactic anenome one of the reason why I am getting a better light setup how much light do you have in thier. or it just might of been that he was searching the tank.
