I have a Haitian Nem, we recently had a very bad bacterial bloom and were not prepared for it at all. All fish died and we lost an arrow crab. I thought the Nem would die fairly fast, but it stayed in the bloom water for about 12+ hours. We had to move it and all inverts into a bucket. Put a sandwich bag full of water over Nem and put whole operation (rock and Nem) in a bucket. Had heater from tank and air stone in the bucket for inverts, and fairly good water parameters for a 5 gal Home Depot bucket if I do say so myself. Had to do 100% water change and have not seen any bacteria resurfacing in the tank. This was only two days ago, though. Got it fixed yesterday. As I said earlier, Nem got moved from tank to bucket and then back to tank. We did our best to keep air exposure as little as possible and seem to have done fairly well. He had some of his tentacles in his mouth, but has since removed them and is acting normal. I should note that there are two air stones in the tank, but they are far from him. He doesn’t seem bothered by them.
