My anemone and my powerhead!!What do I do?

[damian]

Hi,
My green bubble anemone got sucked up to my power head last night! This morning when I saw it I turned off the powerhead and just left the anemone alone and a few hours later the anemone had divided into two pieces! Will these two peices become two separate anemones or will they most likely die? The are both moving around the tank and are not closed, is there anything that I can do for this, other than waiting to see what happens?
Thanks for any advice!!

Well, the powerhead experience obviously didn't kill them if they are moving around the tank!
Sounds to me like the experience gave you 2 for the price of one. You might want to think about getting a strainer for your powerheads to avoid this kind of thing from happening with any of your animals.

a lot of these new powerheads offer a accessory pre-filter which not only keeps fish and other things out of the impellar, but also helps to clean your water a bit. I use such set ups on all my UV's powerheads and the extra one I have in my reef for current. The pads last quite a while and I have never had to clean a fish out of one yet. Hagen also makes a pre filter that fits many other types of powerheads plus their own.

You are lucky...
Mine got sucked up overnight 2 days after getting it.
And I woke to a cloudy tank with a horrible
sound and goo floating around and 1/2 my
anenome's tentacles sucked up the powerhead
and parts of it sticking out of the water
outtake.
