I just got a new rbta today. Left it on an island with powerheads off for a few hours. Turned it back on for a few mins and came back seeing some tentacles got cut off. The anemone was stuck to powerhead for about 5 min max. It's deflated and I moved it back to the island. The foot was unaffected. What can I do? I'm leaving powerheads off overnight.
 
First things first, Place some fine mesh on the powerheads. Then, hope for the best. Tentacles can be lost now and again and not appreciably affect the health of the nem. Foot damage is another story. If you can, isolate the nem in an acclimation box or similar while it heals.
 
It's attached to the island... Looks like everything is okay for now. I've turned pumps back on.
