[Reef257]

Hi all
Hope you doing good .

My LT anomone got stuck for the wavemaker and some part has been chopped off .

And my water is cloudy . Will the cloudy water kill my fish .or poison them .

Thank you

Yes the the fish are at risk of dying. You should do a few large water changes over the next few days, and run activated carbon to filter out toxins.

The foot . This is the pump which goes to the chiller .do you think there would a a small part miisng and causing issue later

I have a 120 gallon tank with sump of 20 gallon the LT anomne is still alive only a part of its foot has been damaged.

Will that small damaged foot release toxic to kill fishes

This happens time to time. Remove wave maker and place in container with tank water. Verify it is dead. If not , it may work itself out. if dead - remove.
Place a couch of chemipure Blue in tank sump to absorb any toxins if present.

I don't think it will. When breeders breed their BTAs they cut them in half and they don't leach toxins.
But you do need to do some water changes and run fresh carbon.

I've had an LTA go through the gyre a few times. He's recovered in the past, and he's currently in the long process of recovering from a couple of runs through the gyre (he lost most of his disc).

My tank was 75 gal with 20 in the sump. So you're doing better than I was.
