If you have an anemone you should use prefilters. I had a little accident earlier in the week and lost half my stock as well as my BTA...
I have the covers on all of my PH, and all are located in areas that are very difficult to get near the intake of the PH (so no fish or invert get caught and die). I did not have the fine prefilters like pantyhose or spounges though.
Anyways long story short my anemone has been wondering constantly since a weird split about a month ago. The anemone twisted itself and the twisted mantle near the foot tore. Over the course of two weeks the tear became more and more apparent eventually totally tearing off. Both parts (foot and body) healed. The foot later died. The body continued to do fine aside from wondering A LOT.
It was also weird, it never 'moved' like it used to. It used to move with its foot planted and kind of shuffled accross the rockwork and sand. After the weird split it never moved on its foot (or where the foot used to be) and would crawl on its side accross rockwork CONSTANTLY.
Yes everything i measured was fine, i truely think the wandering had to do with the injured foot (which was totally healed).
It eventually wondered into a weird spot and got destroyed by a large PH. Nothing was left. Two fish died and my corals were pretty T-ed off for a few days. Three water changes and getting Nitrates<15 later here I am.
Jus wanted to share my story, more for the educational value of the twisting of the anemone - most people already know to have prefilters.

I haven't had much luck with acros - I don't believe they do well in tanks w/ leathers and softies. I have a MH and the two acros (bought from two different places) I had died over a few months period.
