Long Tent. Nem in powerhead

[Patric1]

Had this anemone for 2 weeks strong no problems. Ate good and looked great.. come home from work just now and he’s sucked into the powerhead.. first thing i did was unplug... now what’s the next step?? Water is cloudy so i planned on doing like 15gal or so change(55 gal tank).. is the Nem a goner? Should i try and let it play out? I’d honestly rather save my 6 fish rather than the dummy that got him self stuck but if he’ll heal up then I’ll try that

Oh sorry to see!

Did the foot get damaged? Do you have any more photos?

It actually looks ok, monitor ammonia, large water change, prime on hand

To me it looks like it

Large water change, gently remove nem, inspect for damage, you may need a hospital tank for it.

Big water change, carbon. Slowly work the nem out of the powerhead. Wait and see, I'm not sure the prognosis for LTA's with torn feet is very great though.

Does it have its tentacles extended?

It doesn't look too bad, but hard to see if there is an open wound/tear or not. Don't damage it trying to remove.

To me yeah, what’s left of them lol... gotta vacuum all the pieces of the sand
