Default Iminant Danger! Help!

I came home tonight to find my perculas ripping apart my ritteri anemone! I've seen them rip off a tentacle or two before, but today they tore into it's body and it's mouth is gaping open. I don't think it will recover. Strings of zoo. etc. are coming out of the holes and it's mouth. My water is cloudy and I'm wondering if I should take it out now to save a crash. I have a QT, but nowhere near enough light for it. What should I do? I have to work 12 hours a day, so I have to do something tonight! Rich.

I had to take it out. I put it in the QT, and will monitor it carefully but am quite sure it is beyond repair. Too bad. I have never heard of a clown pair attacking it's host to shreds. I guess everything was going too well in my tank. Damn that Murphy guy! Now I have to get to the water change. TTFN. Rich.

Man that's horrible. Sorry I can't be more useful, but how bizarre! Little beggars... has the anemone been healthy? and what size?

Sounds like a goner though.
