Anemone in powerhead problem

[childress5tyler]

Does anybody have any suggestion as to how to prevent an anemone getting caught in a powerhead? My last 2 anemones have gotten caught in my powerhead and have sadly died. Any advice on how to prevent this would be appreciated. thanks

Welcome to SWF
you can cover the intake with some netting....sew it with fishline

Bummer you lost the anemone...if it does happen again, turn off the PH and let the critter dislodge itself...sometimes they can survive.
Welcome to the site...stick around, we have lots of little hints to pass out that make SW tanks the joy they are meant to be.

thank you and i thought about doing that, but it seemed too (in better words), too shreaded. such a bummer though, had that for a while and my clowns were starting to host in it finally!
