Leave him, they can recover. It would be very helpful if you could post a photo.

What type of anemone?

But, since it was the tentacles that were stuck, that is the best thing (( well, the best part of a bad situation )).

Given time and TLC, it can make a full recovery. Just make sure to keep your water parameters in check, and cover the powerheads.

For reference, this is what I came home to a couple of years ago,

Right after being removed from the powerhead,

2 weeks later, can see the new tentacles growing back,

About a month and half later,

+1 Toddrtrex, very helpful. I wish I would have done that when that happened to my anemone. After 3 goes through the PH though and he bit the dust. Even after I closed them off he wanted to get in I guess. Maybe some help and ideas as how to screen off the PH to keep the anemones out.

Those recovery photos are great.

Hope yours recovers nanoreefkeepa!
