I don't know how to say this without sounding like a butt head, but, dang, it's not the anemone's fault if it gets stuck in your powerhead. ALL powerheads need to be anemone-proofed if you've got anemones

lol - it's never their fault, but damn it's frustrating when they roam around the block and get a good "SLURP"

Unfortunately I had completely reorganized my powerheads thanks to my anemones, and I have a super tight screen on my MJ1200, yet still it found its way and snuggled in right next to the screen, and about 3 tentacles were schmucked in my new CLONE. I was so happy that it cloned, not so happy that the clone wandered. Oy.

we can only do so much to protect them...... they are just like kids...... can teach them right from wrong but they still have a mind of their own and will still get into sh*^

... and when the metaphorical sh** hits the metaphorical fan (impeller), we dowhat we can to nurse them back to health and try not to let it happen again.

if they don't learn to avoid impellers, we must learn to block them from getting into impellers

I'm metaphoricaly wondering what a 10' anemone is doing in a 20 gallon tank anyway? The tank sounds a bit small to me.....metaphoricaly of course.

Yah, thing with anemones is they grow... thats why i was thinking of selling it ...seems that its the least bit concerned with getting about half of its tentacles shortened its plump and eating. The one reason i havent sold it yet is because the clowns are hosting it and i would really like to keep them, but without the nem i think they would get stressed

Please don't confuse me with the "reef police" because I believe we keep animals for our pleasure not theirs, but nanos are meant to keep small stuff in.

On another note I had a clown that hosted with my wall "ancher" hammer and there was no harm done. If they choose to host with an open brain they do a lot of damage to the coral.
