Well my fear came true!

[AydenLincoln]

Can he manage to get himself unstuck? He’s still alive. I turned off the pump. Should I try and pull him off or see if he can get himself off?

If your tank didn't get all cloudy you may have caught it in time. Just see if it will move on its own. I had on do the same thing. I took another powerhead and held it pointing at it until it decided to let go. It came back no issues.

might want a nem guard

Wohoo! He let go and I gently knocked him off because his one little tentacle was stuck.

On it or I need to figure out how to make one. He got himself unstuck.

I just ordered one! I saw this one.

I hope it’s okay that I turned my powerhead back on he found a nice little place to sit in the rock. I don’t want to leave it off until I get the guard.

I have seen them survive this, even when ripped in half

That’s good because he definitely is looking a little rough. He’s moving though.

The fact it is already attached to a rock means its all good

NOT AGAIN! UGH. This is staying off until I can get the guard in a few days for my wandering anemone!

Well it happened again. My powerhead will now be off until I get the guard.

If you have some mesh left over from lid or foam, you can make a quick DIY

I’ll probably but pantyhose over it actually.

You might also look at why the nem is wandering - they do that anyway sometimes, but it can be searching for more flow, more light, etc.

good to see it is an active nem, especially after being caught in the pump once before. panty hose should hold you off until you receive the nem guard.

 

[AydenLincoln]

RIP! His foot got stuck and then he stopped moving because he couldn’t get himself unstuck so I just removed him. He lasted a whole week and three days. It’s not worth the risk for me….I don’t want my tank nuked. Now I will be getting the guard and then his replacement soon. He was moving because he was trying to find his little spot.

Too late sadly. See post above! Boohoo!

He’s wandering because I only had him for a week and he was trying to find his spot! See my post above. Boohoo!
