well i bought a sebae anemone (4") from the lfs. Its bleached but not as bad as ive seen before. I had to try and save it as the lfs that had it would of surely killed it (they had it in a tank with a LTA and the sebae was stinging the crap out of it). I place it in my tank and it moved over to the right of my tank next to some rocks and was staying put. I was feeding it every other day with mysis and krill. well i went to bed and all was good at 1am but when i got up at 4 it was gone and then i noticed it had been sucked into the powerhead :headwally: . it had a cover on it with slits but must of been to powerfull and it was tangled up preaty good. so i pulled it out slowly and trimed the plastic of it and placed it back in the tank. question is do you think it will be ok, the one side is fine and it looks like there is no cuts just kinda squished and if there is a good chance of it living ill buy a diff powerhead for that side of the tank. Tank is 125 gallon up for about 1 1/2 years with very fine sand and under nova extreme t5 ho 6 bulb on the one side and radion on other. its actually under the t5 ho with 4 ati blue+ and 1 ati Blue special( other never worked) and one actinic to replace broken blue special. any info would be apreciated. sry for the long post
 
Not to be negative, but it's probably a goner. I've seen BTAs recover from powerhead injuries, but Crispa and Malus not so much.
 
There have been threads on here where a crispa was mangled very bad and still recuperated. Give it ideal water conditions (water changes, skimming and activated carbon) and that's about all you can do.
