My aquatop titanium heater broke and I'm not sure if there's anything that comes out of that thing, but it killed my urchin and snails. My rbta's aren't looking too good. I did a water change, ran carbon but to be safe, I also moved one of my anemones to a family member's tank to hold.

The tank is a 40g tank and I've had these guys for years, and that heater kind of did a number on my tank.

This is what it looks like in their tank, is this guy gonna be alright?
 
Stray voltage from the heater breaking maybe?

I didn't even know it broke when I stuck my hand in the front of the tank to check the snails. Wouldn't I normally get shocked? or is it cause the heater was in the back chamber of the AIO?
 
You wouldn't get zapped hard due to not being grounded.
