Hey I know these nems
No worries, you tried, that's the important part.Well, sad news. I had to remove him I got home and it’s guts were out and attempting to move him showed he was beginning to disintegrate. I strongly believe the nem did not make it because it’s mouth was torn in the power headboard. Had it been just tentacles or foot I think it could have split but perhaps without a mout it couldn’t? I figured best to remove so it wouldn’t spike the tank and hurt the other nem. Being bummed would be an understatement.
On a positive note the other nem is showing marginal improvement but no tentacles... not sure what to do about that.
Here is the “improving” nem:
sorry for the negative outcome everyone.

Hey man you did what you could and that is outstanding. I have a few nems that should be splitting soon 1 is your free of charge when they do I’ll ship it to you no worries man you tried
Sorry to hear you lost the anenome. I was actually reading your thread last night and had a bad feeling. I went in to work (I teach 5th grade) this morning and my water was cloudy. Lo and behold, my rbta sucked into powerhead. I couldn't take the steps you did because the day before, I used my last 5g of saltwater to do a wc which was needed after 2 week winter break. I also don't have other tanks at school.
I did remove the powerhead fairly quickly and have it in a container floating in tank. Tank is a 16g and by the end of school, water was much clearer, other coral seemed unhappy but not dying, and don't have any fish yet that I had to worry about.
Will do a wc tomorrow and hope that it frees itself overnight and will recover. Thanks to your thread and member replies, I had a little more knowledge of what do as jabberwok mentioned in post above.
Sorry for your loss. I would recommend taking care of those flatworms. If you use flatworm RX and when they die those ones I believe will release a toxin. So have Carbon in your tank and get ready to do at least 2 water changes. Before you do so I would try removing them before hand. There are different ways to hand remove them.
Wish you the best!
