FFKasee Posted January 24, 2012 Share Posted January 24, 2012 So when i got back from class I couldn't find my anemone and all i found was what i think is the fingers of the anemone they are bright green small ovalish items in both my tank and refugium what would cause this all i have is a pair of clowns and a few fire fish, all the fish and corals are doing okay.

+o0zarkawater Posted January 24, 2012 Share Posted January 24, 2012 Check your powerheads. He'll be in one of them, or at least whats left of him will be. If you can get him out and put him in a breeder net, he might survive. http://www.austinreefclub.com/topic/20019-rbta-vs-korallia Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FFKasee Posted January 24, 2012 Author Share Posted January 24, 2012 I looked at all the powerheads and thier is nothing in them also their intake is covered and only has very small openings to not allow that Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mFrame Posted January 24, 2012 Share Posted January 24, 2012 Occasionally my bta's drop a tentacle or two, just 1/2" or so. If you see more than two I think o0zarkawater is correct. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FFKasee Posted January 24, 2012 Author Share Posted January 24, 2012 Just finished going though the whole system again and breaking down all of my pumps there were no anemone parts and the largest section found was the size of a penny that contains a small section of foot stomach and 2-3 tenticals, i tried to see if that small section would fit in any pump but it wouldn't make it though.

jestep Posted January 24, 2012 Share Posted January 24, 2012 They can retract extremely small. I had a 4 - 5" BTA that could retract down to about the size of a nickel when I moved him. I would bet that most of him got pureed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you look at my thread you can see the original size of that anemone, about 12+" across when open, with a foot about 4" thick etc. He was sucked THROUGH the grates on a koralia 3, which I don't think are even 1/8" apart. Just 1" or so of him left outside of the powerhead. They can smashy smashy down pretty small when they want to get sucked through something.
