Same thing would have happened to me if I didn't have gutter guard blocking my powerhead. Not sure why they do that. I think they think the current is going to take them to a better place.

One of my current anemones has made it's home inches away from the outlet of one of my pumps. He loves it there, tons of flow and apparently the right amount of light. It hasn't moved in months. That doesn't mean it won't though. LOL

I had a 12 inch RBTA decide to crawl into my Koralia 3. The only thing left was a small piece of flesh blowing out the powerhead. The rest was minced and in my skimmer. I thought the regular skimmate smelled bad! None of my livestock showed any signs of stress over its death though.
All my current BTA's don't wonder into the powerheads for some reason. They will wonder within inches of them, but not into them. I guess I'm lucky!

I had one head into a Koralia powerhead too. Pics in this thread if you care to take a look. He's recovered from that and looks pretty good now, although a lot smaller! I'll try to post new pics when I get a chance.

Wow what a great day for me.. After having him and the clowns in the tank for months they finally hosted. Maybe he will stay put now that he has them hosting. I had him in a medium current but he ended up in a high current. I guess he loves the flow.. Only bad thing is he ended up facing the back side of the tank .

My sebae anemone quit moving around once my clown fish started hosting in it. Now I have lost the clowns but a carribean crab has moved in and the anemone still shows no signs of moving. Have hope!

mine pretty much went 2 weeks straight before settling in a low light area, also if flow is strong they'll quickly shy away from a spot, at least IME
