Hi all. I was at the local Petco last weekend for some green chromis to QT, beef up, and add to my DT when I saw a long tentacle anemone. The color was awesome and he almost looked fake. The price was good so I got him and put him into QT looking forward to getting him into the DT after the QT period. I have a mini Hygger pump. Everything was going well until this morning. I had some time this morning and decided I would put a spare Icecap Gyre mesh on the Hygger pump after lunch. I went to pick up my lunch to go and when I returned to the office, the QT tank was super cloudy and I knew immediately that the anemone went for a stroll. I turned the pump off, gathered him up and put him back in the lidless acclimation box that I used to hold substrate. I did a little over 50% water change. It's still a little murky but it's clearing up. My question is, what are the odds he'll pull out of this? I don't think he was there long, but he's definitely been hurt.

This was him at Petco.



This was him before he decided to take a stroll.

Those were the before; here are the after:

Any thoughts would be appreciated.

Thank you.
