My Green BTA just escaped it's "house", and got suckedinto the filter. the water is all milky. What should I do?

Do as big a water change as possible and about 2-3 cups of carbon in the sump in a high flow area.

Turn the filter off and see if the anenome is able to back itself out (try not to pull it out as this can cause more damage). Do an immediate water change and run some carbon

If the anenome is too far gone and is not going to make it you will want to remove it as well. But that is something you will need to judge from the looks. If the foot is ok I'd leave him in. If the foot is really chewed up I would remove

yea. all tht I can see of it are about 2-3 inches of his bubbles. I'm cleaning my filter (again). I only have the carbon that was in there. What should I do? No stores are open. It's 6:50 AM.

So the entire foot went into the filter? If that is the case you may have lost him. It might be time to worry about the health of the other animals and simply remove the anenome.

Not much you can do except a water change and wait for the stores to open to get some carbon.

In my Fluval 404, I have four sacks of carbon in it. Are those no good anymore?

 

[Titus77]

sadly, this isn't the first time, though. I dont remember anything from last time.

 

[spence0416]

The carbon usually only works for a couple weeks to a month (maybe less). So it really depends upon when you last added it.

don't post anything about this in the anemone forum. They will all tear you a new one as if you don't feel bad enough.

OK thanks.
