Icon8 Funeral for a BTA

my BTA got himself sucked into my powerhead last night. That'll teach me to not put on the foam screen over the plastic intake tube

I got him out of the tube and he looks like he might still be partially alive..... should I give him a chance or take him out before he creates a mess?

The Green BTA that I had is badly injured, although he still has some of his tentacles left. Will he regenerate, or heal, or split?

My Clowns absolutly went nuts when the anemone was no longer thier home so I bought them a new one.

this time, I have the powerhead intake covered with a sponge and I also built him a home.

I used the top portion of a gatorade bottole as the basis of the anemones home. I then covered the bottle top with marine lands "Hold Fast", after I covered the entire bottle top with a thick layer of hold fast, I then attached it to a piece of LR i had purchased and ground so it had a flad surface. I then used pieces of crushed LR to imprint rock-like shapes into the hold fast. Here's a pic of the anemone in his new home, hopefully he will stay there.

If it still look healthy everything is fine They sometimes look different under your lights then your LFS lights. What was white under their lights may be green under yours.
