Stuck Anemone- what now?
I have an Awesome looking carpet anemone about 8" across. When I got home last night a corner of him had been sucked into a small power head I had hanging in the tank. I turned the power head off and this morning he is still stuck. PLEASE HELP.

you have two choices. The best is just to wait. If he's still alive he will work his way out. The second choice is to wait a little long and them very carefully try to manually remove him from the powerhead.

Just make sure you lay the power head down on the substrate (Turned off) and he will release himself..My Sebae had been stuck 3 or 4 time over the years..Don't stress him anymore by man handling him.

+1 for the nem removing itself. I had one recover fully after getting tangled in a powerhead inlet. Took the powerhead and layed it down on the sand and let him work his way out over the next 24 hours.
