I have a LTA which I’ve had for a few months that wandered into my canister filter intake. I was able to cut the intake apart to get it out but it looks badly damaged. I’m wondering if I should try putting it back in the tank.

I’m assuming it’s a loss

When they climb and towards powerhead, in many cases due to insufficient light and/or water flow
Also assure phosphate is not high and temperature ranges of 76-79 degrees
 
Yeah it was flow, I moved a power head yesterday
great to hear. Wait a day then feed 2x a week. Mysis shrimp or chopped krill , good
