anemonie down, ANEMONIE DOWN! GET TO THE CHOPPER!

came home to find my amazingely beautiful RBTA (as seen below) sucked into a power head and the tank clouded over. Did a %75 water change and left it to find its way out. I think it will live, but YUCK was not happy about it. Thing has stayed in one place for almost 8 months, since I moved the tank........

last look was that he had moved out of the powerhead and is really close to the same spot he started the trip (not where he was in the pics). So he survived and will be healing up over the next few weeks I am guessing.

I lost my pbta that I had for 6 years that way. My clowns are homeless right now. Hopefully one of the many splits I gave away will show up at the shop one day so I can get my clowns a home again.

Sorry to hear that, the same thing happened to me with my rbta and I had to do like 60% water chabge. That is the reason why I do not run power heads anymore.
