Well I woke up today as he's dead got sucked up in my canister filter... Amazing purchase on my half haha fail

dont feel bad i had a gbta dissapear completely no canister filter involved

but if you are using a canaser filter if yu attempt another anemone my suggestoin is make a mesh caseing out of plastick to put arounf the intake of the canister filter to keep the nem or other wandering inhabitants away from it .. not hard to do and will save you future dissapointment

How can it get sucket into a canister? don't you have some sort of tip on the input to stop fish and animals from getting inside the filter?

I have a sponge filter at the entrance of my canister so nothing can get in.

What just happened was painfully common and completely avoidable with a little bit of knowledge. Next time just do a little bit of reading first. You could have avoided a lot of unnecessary questions and spared the life of another anemone.

+1 was thinking the same thing when this thread was started.

I may come off as being harsh but its just because your situation was exactly the same as mine was with my first anemone 8 years ago. I didn't know what species it was or what its care requirements were when I bought it. My system at the time was completely unsuited for it and its a miracle that it didn't die within the first few months. But fortunately I got lucky and I still have that anemone to this day. Please don't skimp on the reading. The more you know the more likely you are to be successful the next time.
