Warning for everyone with anemones in a Biocube

[The new fish on the block]

Earlier this week my 6"+ GBTA decided to go for a walk so it walked up and over the back wall in to the second chamber and from there weaved underneath the baffles into the pump tearing itself in half.
Moral of the story is cover all pump intakes even if they are in places you don't think they can get to. Surprisingly both halves survived.

This is a good warning for anyone with a BTA, regardless of tank size. I'm glad things are okay with yours.

I"ve had both nems in a strainer for the past week I'm going to do a wc today can I put the nems back in ?

Not sure what you mean by "in a strainer". Does that mean an acclimation box of some sort and they were housed in your display, just isolated? Have they attached themselves to anything within your "strainer"?

Is it possible that it purposly split as a coincidence? Not that i donot believe it. But they like splitting

Its a pasta strainer I have them both isolated in, and I haven't had anything in there for them to attach to.

I wish it was a split, but when i woke up the whole tank was cloudy and the nem was ripped into one big piece and one small

Here is a picture it's not the best

It can attach to the strainer itself, is whathe meant i believe. Has it doe that?

 

[The new fish on the block]

The small one has but slipped off i think it may be to slippery

i put some rubble in there with them

 

[The new fish on the block]

I put two pieces in there about 10 min ago and the big nem seems to have attached to the small piece of rubble

 

[Joshky]

Are your BTA's pastafarians?

 

[dbl]

I would give them a chance to attach to the rubble. Obviously there is no guarantee they will, nor is there a guarantee they will stay attached once you go to move them. But in my opinion your goal should be to make sure their foot is not damaged and/or healed.

Ok I keep them in a little longer. Would clownfish help them heal faster. I attached a better picture of them both separate will the small one grow its tentacles back?

 

[dbl]

I wouldn't introduce clowns thinking they will help heal them. The clowns have the potential of irritating them more right now, assuming they would choose the BTA as a host. Just give them time and see how they react/recover, including the "new" smaller one.
