Well, he didn't make it

whenI got home last night, it was shrivelled up and its guts were hanging out.he has been removed and disposed. my intakes were all protected, but it may have made contact with the heater.
going to wait a couple of months, and perhaps try a BTA.
I did a 5 gallon water change, I am changing my quick filter every 12 hours or so, and replaced the carbon in the quickfilter.
I will be changing another 5 gallons when I get home.
My skimmer does not seem to be working. the inside of the colection tube on top gets really dirty, but nothing rises to the top of the tube?? I have lowered the tube all the way to the bottom, with still no skimate?
The tank is really cloudy after the Anemone "incident" so I know it should be pouring out the skimate......... weird?
Any suggestions.
