![]() then maybe this wouldn't happen...
![]() I got up this morning to find my green BTA stuck in the power head for the 2nd time in a week. I just got it a couple weeks ago and it still hasn't found a place in the tank that it likes... now I fear this will do it in.

![]() Carefully pry it out without tearing any tissue, it should do fine. Keep it somewhere safe for a while with an upside down basket or such. My RBTA got sucked into my tunze stream and after an hour of extracting it, it came back fine in a few days.
And if they had brains, then that would hurt!! ![]()

![]() I have Koralia PHs like that, I've heard ppl talking about "prefilters" for their PHs....do you know if they make them for that brand? I'd like to get an anemone but I don't want that to happen
Excellent pictures btw, very gory lol |

![]() It looks pretty rough right now, but it might very well survive. Follow Aquattro's advice, that's about all you can do.
Must have been something in the air this week, I had two BTA's wander into powerheads this week. One, my rose, hadn't moved in 2 years and suddenly it decided it needed a haircut. Both looked pretty rough initially but after a couple days now I'm pretty sure both will recover. So hopefully yours does too. Good luck.
