mimie Posted July 24, 2002 Share Posted July 24, 2002 Hie all, I just got on this forum one day too late. After installing a power head in my 20G, I found my sebae anenome stuck in it!!! I mean how the heck did he get up there??? Anyways, it was one of those undergravel filter powerheads and he got stuck in the suction piece. I am deeply saddened. I hope to avoid these kinds of situation in the future. -------------------------live and learn--------------------------- Link to comment
Christopher Marks Posted July 24, 2002 Share Posted July 24, 2002 Anemones getting caught in powerheads is unfortunately all too common. Yet another reason why they should not be kept in captivity...:| Link to comment
Crakeur Posted July 24, 2002 Share Posted July 24, 2002 I hope you got all of it out. They melt and be the cause of a major crash. Also, nothing spells worse than a dead anemone. OK, other things do but anemone death is right up there with the worst of them. Link to comment
Mr_Spam Posted July 25, 2002 Share Posted July 25, 2002 You need to place a drilled PVC pipe along the intake of all powerheads to prevent an anemone from being shredded. Thats what I have done. Link to comment
