Anemone sucked up into k3. help me

[lowrah]

he was sucked up into our filter intake last week, covered those. LFS said didn't need to cover koralias.

how do i know if he is going to die or not? how do i know if he is dying?
or whether he needs to be helped out?
should i take him out and put him in a bucket? i don't have a QT tank
i have the powerhead turned off but don't know what to do. lights are still off

If he's all shriveled up and has been that way for days, he's most likely dead. Take him out and smell it. you'll know for sure then.

If he smells REALLY BAD, it's most likely gone. I had one wonder into my skimmer and dang what a mess in my tank.

one of my nems did the same and the sound of ripping him from the ph was horrible. I am sorry to say that he is probably a goner. I feel for you.
