i have a JBJ AIO 45 gallon tank
This tank has two small holes in the fake back which leads to your overflow baskets
My LTA had settled in one area of the tank for about two months then he moved
He got caught in my MP10 which didn't hurt him as I had it running very low.
I took the fan protector off with him in down on the rock hoping he would fall out. He did and I don't know if he got sucked into the hole ( I don't know if there is a suction or not) needless to say he is in it I guess it's about 1/8 of a inch wide ( the hole)
What can I do? Leave him and hope he gets out?

Below is pictures of it inside the basket and him outside

Thanks everyone
 
Good morning Bob
I would suggest to turn off all the pumps and try to get him unplugged from the hole, then turn on the system to see if there is suction. If there is not any suction, I would not be concerned. If there is suction and closing the hole off with a rubber stopped with not cause issues then do so.
 
Yeah I tried that I turned everything off felt down in the basket he watched him move around on the front side. I then took hold of him from the front and tried to pull him with everything off. I do plan on plugging the holes. I just went to doublecheck if their was suction and there isn't but after two weeks the anemone is also out. I'm happy
Thanks everyone
