Hey guys, the sunburst has been goin up and down the glass and close to the power head lately. When we got home from dinner tonight we found it stuck on the power head took it apart, did an inspection of his foot which lead to seeing damage. We left the top of the power on a rock and it finally came off, it did do damage to its tendrils not all but it’s pretty noticeable on one side. My question is there anyway to put something over the power to prevent this happening again and why does it keep goin up and down the glass? Thanks!

It will drastically reduce flow but you could use pantyhose

Keep in mind you'll have to frequently clean the pantyhose

If you have a good skimmer brushing the pantyhose off with a paintbrush should be good enough as long as you do it frequently

This seems to be the only way to keep them safe. They will ultimately cruise around the tank and I don't think there's anything you can do about it unless you drill a hole in a rock and he really likes it.
