Added this beautiful BTA to my tank earlier this evening and it immediately planted itself in a crevice of my rock work. Right before bed I went to check on it and it seems to have made it into the very small gaps of my jebao ow-10 powerhead.
The mouth seems to be fine and from what I can tell so far the foot seems okay. The good news is the pump was stopped so it didn’t keep tearing it up. There however is a tear on the outer rim you can see it in the pics.
I added GAC immediately and removed it from the power head carefully.
It is back in the rock and I wanted to check it’s responsiveness. I turned out the lights for 30 minutes. It closed up pretty tight. I then turned the lights back on and it began to open up immediately.
Looking for experienced anemone keepers to chime in. What are the odds of this anemone healing?
Is there anything I can do to increase the odds of survival and shorten healing time?
Should I try to feed this anemone after 1 day? 3 days? A week?
Any help is great appreciated. Here are some images. First is when it was added. Then the pic of it in the PH. Followed by a picture about 10 minutes after it was removed and an image/video of it currently.
