Baby blue tang in trouble!?

[coralosity351]

So I had the misfortune of watching my poor baby blue tang get sucked up into my powerhead (the bottom mesh cap got eaten by my dog during cleaning one day) I quickly pulled it out and got him out what is the chance that he actually makes it through the night? He went straight for the very bottom under a rock after and it looks like he's just laying there not really moving too much

I have had a clown fish recover after being sucked into my skimmer. The poor clowns tail fin was nearly gone and had damage to one of it's pectoral fins. It pulled though and grew the fins back. Just watch the fish it may recover, but no guarantee. This can be very stressful so hiding afterward is normal. Did the fish get torn up?

No he looked ok it just worries me cuz I've only had it for about 5-6 days as it is

He was fine this morning came out for feeding like any other day I'll send a pic if I can get him out again

He will probably be okay if he was out eating today. Keep an eye on him though as he may need QT treatment since he is so new.
