Help! Anemone stuck in chamber 1 of biocube

[Kbell1432]

I have a new RBTA that has been wandering. He's seemed happy for the last week, attached to one spot. Today I came home to find him missing. I finally noticed a red glow between the openings to the back of the tank. It seems he's in the first chamber of my BC 14, under the false floor. I can't get the floor out. What should I do next?

If you can get a jet down there blowing water directly at him threw some opening or holes may make him uncomfortable enough to move.

I'm not exactly sure how to do that, or how urgent it is to get him out of there. Does anyone know how to remove the false floor of the first chamber in the back of the bio cube??? Without pushing down, because that'll squish my nem...

No I dont know how remove that. But he could starve down there if he isnt getting light. Although he should move on his own if he isnt getting sufficient light. Is he trapped or can he get back out the way he came.

 

[Kbell1432]

I'm assuming he can get back out the way he came... They're small slats that pull water into the back of the tank to be filtered before it goes into the second chamber. I can feed him food until I figure it out, which will hopefully be tonight.

I had nems move into the overflow of my tanks, down the durso, and into the sump. Have survived for a couple of months for sure.

If the nem isn't happy there it'll move. Hopefully back up
