My rbta just got sucked up into the power head and died. I don't know how long it's been there. How long would it take the poison to kill the livestock in the tank?
 
Size of the Anemone, tank and filtration in use will have its effect on the damage caused by a dying or dead anemone

40g and filtration is just from jebo
 
"40g and filtration is just from jebo "

jebo what??? that doesn't state much...

anyway, i don't believe that a bta has "poison" that will nuke a tank. the ammonia / nutrient levels might rise if it's dead and decomposing. this would cause issues, but is an entirely different issue then "poisoning". maybe someone else has some proof of poisoning that i haven't read about? i have heard lot's of theories about poisoning, but not anything conclusive.

personally, i would recommend performing a water change, and test your params.
 
Had one die this way, all I did was change out my carbon, and water change (22-gal on a 150-gal tank), nothing was really effected.

I did about 30% water change
