Help please anemone caught in gyre overnight

[Houston03]

Hello everyone my tank is pretty new (reefer250) and have not dealt with something like this before, I woke up this morning to my long tentacle anemone caught in my gyre dead. I just did a 12 gallon water change yesterday and parameters were perfect, this morning my tank was very cloudy with the anemones tentacles in small pieces in the sand, I had about 2.5gallons of saltwater on hand and did a small water change right away before I had to go to work, when I get home today what would you guys do? Major water change? Small water changes over the next few days? I just don’t know what to do besides water changes

Carbon and water changes

I have 2 media bags of carbon in my sump I put fresh in yesterday should that be okay or add more?

The carbon has to remove all the toxins from the dead nem. This could take 2 bags or it could take 10. Thats an exadurated number but you get what I'm saying....time will tell and being on top of the carbon and another few water changes over the next couple days and you should be fine.

Carbon can be exhausted in the first couple hours so in a situation like this if you can run home at lunch and check on the tank, I would.

I did a big water change along with cleaning everything inside the tank along with changing out carbon, tank looks much better now and isn’t cloudy at all. Hopefully I did enough.
