What are the best Vortech guards out there? Added my Dejongi gramma to my big tank and I have a fear of him being blended, so I'm looking at the Nemprotect and the limpet ones on BRS, not sure what is better or if there are better options. Thoughts and Opinions are welcome.

I got the nemprotect ones for my mp60s. I really like them. Solidly built and they fit really well

I use the limpet on my mp40s. It widens the flow as well which I needed.

Not sure either will actually accomplish the original goal of preventing anemone purée, though may give you a bit more time to attempt removal. Both would likely protect your fish.

Are the holes of this guard too big for tentacles to get pulled in?

I use below two, both work and fine Limpet more compact

One of the nice things about our product is that it is not a cover that restricts flow. It's a replacement cover. Also the print quality is superior and we recently came out with a version that allows you to attach our random flow generator or directional flow adapters. Here is the link for everything 3D. Thank you.

I really like the limpet ones. I use them on my tank. It widens the flow and makes the mp40 have better spread. My pipe fish can land on it and not get killed. No exp with my anemones as they stay put
