anemone suicide !!!!!

also posted in my local forum .....
well,
a little over a week ago I picked up an awesome Purple long tipped anemone.
I acclimated it, and placed it in the tank where I wanted it.
he moved a little over the next couple days. but prettymuch stayed where I wanted him.
my gsm clowns took strait to him and were hosting.
everything was looking good
I went out of town for a few days.
got back last night, noticed he had moved.
he was at the bottom of the tank, about 12" below where he had been on the rocks. I wasn't too worried (roommate said he had just moved monday (am he was on the rocks, pm he was on the glass, but still open, and looking good)
this morning, I couldn't find him.
but there were little purple pieces all over the tank.
I moved some rocks, and there he was, face first into the powerhead I had buried behind my rockwork
the damn thing commited suicide by doing a faceplant into my powerhead.
now I can't decide if I'm more sad or pissed !!!
not only did I just shell out some decent cash for him,
but he looked awesome, I hadn't seen a purple one like him anywhere before.
I told the LFS about it,
and let them know I'd like another if they can get one.
and to let me know.
I guess that's all for now

I thought it was covered with rocks

I will probably get some of those Korilla's (sp)
they seem to have less suction than my current powerheads

this is what my LFS gave me when i purchased my anemone to put on my skimmer, he said you can just by the filter sponge things and cut a hole in it and stick it on the pump

sorry about your luck reepks
as far as the foam prefilter,
I don't see that working on my current powerheads.
I'll figure something out
