Well the 10" green bubble tip anemone has found its way into the powerheads again... i dont even have sympathy for it anymore, it only moves every few months and it is always directly into a powerhead.

This time it was completely in it no tentacles visible so i unplugged it and went to work. There are green tentacles all over my tank the anemone doesnt even seem to mind, its as big as ever except for most of its tentacles being stubby from the haircut it gave itself.

My concern is the tentacles will start to rot and cause an ammonia spike in my aquarium as its only a 20g. I cant possibly get to all the bits of tentacles is this a big deal? i dont know how much meat there are to the tentacles anyways ?

Thanks, Oh and anybody want to buy a monster with a fancy new hairdoo ?

The best way is to live it alone with the power head turned off for three days and it will find its way out by itself. If you forse it out you will damage it. Also might be a good idea to install a protection on the power head intakes.

I am trying hard to figure out what is so funny.?

Emo (slang)
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Emo_(slang)

Stereotypical emo fashion, portrayed in the style of common American signage; the words on the shirt are a parodic amalgamation of several band names.Emo is a somewhat ambiguous, controversial slang term most frequently used to describe a fashion or subculture which is usually defined to have its roots in punk fashion and subculture, as well as some attributes of gothic fashion and subculture.

Never went to SFU i heard that from a buddy of mine a while ago but that is a rad newspaper headline, Yes it got side tracked but i dont care it was worth a laugh, awkward, no i dont think there are any of them here EMOs can barely keep themselves alive let alone fish...
