Anenome's all sucked up!

[derek2kick]

Hello,
Can somebody please help? I just bought a great bubble tip anenome. This morning I was shocked to find it sucked into the uptake of my Tunze Tubo Stream 6000 pump! Luckily it pulled itself out before it got sliced and diced. Is there a protective guard of some sort for this for sale? I'm afraid to turn on the pumps again.

The guy at the LFS didnt warn me about this and I was caught off guard.

Thanks a million?

you could try surrounding the pump with some filter pad but honestly that is something that happens to anemone's from time to time. They travel and will find a way to get sucked up into anything if it isnt guarded. Good luck.

I would suggest leaving the pump off for a couple hours while the anemone attaches and then start with 30% power for a couple days. Once attached you won't have this problem.
