Help asap...my bubble Tip is stuck bad..

[twentyleagues]

I've tried to to persuade it back through..its not having it...he's all relaxed and hanging,when I touch him he tenses up and it being impossible to move..I've been tickling his foot and not going anywhere..its been about 40 minutes..

Did you try gently trying to pull while "tickling" its foot? You can try a nem "cannon" to get it to move. A nem cannon is a piece of pvc pipe with a large enough diameter to fit around the nem to block light in the immediate area but light at the top still the nem should move to the light. You would need to make sure to block light to the chamber it was trying to get into also. Or like @Marketplace Reefer said try to reverse flow to irritate it out.

Just be aware that may take some time to work. Not just mins but hours sometimes days.

Looks like long tentacle nem, once it is out ,dig hole in sand to bottom of tank next to a rock and bury foot ,hopefully will stay once happy
can you get your hand in there? rub ice cube on inside part ,will shrink fast

This is one reason I am not a nem guy. I do have a few rfas now but in the past I have tried a few different types always seem to go rouge on me for no apparent reason.

This is my first nem and I'd like to say after that experience my last

My blue haddoni is only one I have left and it has its own tank. I made up my mind I was done with them when I tore down my 180g. I never had one wander into a powerhead but keeping them with coral can be a hassle.

EDIT : I do have a few rock flowers but I have never had one wander.

I have had the rfas wander a little but they didnt bother the corals they ended up touching.

After my first RBTA, I've deemed them the cats of the reefing world. I love nems, but not when mine just hide and seek every week.

It's stuck in my intake filter

Allow to sit in area of low light and flow and regain its foot onto rock or sand. Hard to damage if any in pic

 

[KrisReef]

It's not attached..a big chunk of it is still through the vents and is just hanging there

Push it out and it may heal if you have good lighting and parameters.

I am too late, good luck

put some type of screen over your weir vent to keep it from getting caught again.
if it liked that spot it will try again.
