Long Tentacle Anemone Stuck in Power Head


I woke up Sunday with my anemone stuck in my power head. I guess he decided he didnt like his home. It hadnt moved for several weeks and looked very happy. It ate raw shrimp very well. It took most of the day and a little pulling for it to release from the inlet cover. It is extended today but not nearly as much as before. Probably half the size. It lost a couple tentacles in the ordeal. Is there anything I might need to worry about, like poisoning the tank if it dies??

If he starts to turn into jelly then get it out of there. I burried one in a land slide a while ago and it was a few weeks but it recovered.

Good Luck!

I don't think it will release toxin into the tank. I think it will be more of a rapid decay issue if things go badly.

It seems to be doing fine so far. No decay that I can see. It has settled in an area of pretty low flow though.

This is nothing new i have heard a lot of things like this !

Water change and waiting game are all you can do .

Most of the time they are ok after a little while .
