Will my anemone live?

[Titus07]

I knew to put a filter on my powerhead so nothing would get sucked up but I neglected to do so. I found one of my anemones this morning and he is badly damaged from being sucked partially in. I found him turned almost inside out and under a rock today. How will I know if he is going to live or if I need to start trying to get him out of the tank?

how bad was the damage?

if you can QT it that would probably be best.

I've seen pretty bad pics of torn up nems that made it, pretty much as long as foot is in tact it will most likely make it, just keep an eye out and COVER INTAKES!!!

I see three tenticles out but he could have more that are just deflated and pulled in. His mouth and foot appear to be intact but he is not expanding at all. As for loose tissue, I have looked all over the tank but have not found much and I don't have anything in the tank that would eat the tissue.

I had a BTA get chewed up so bad it had no tentacles left. It looked like a small stump. Over time it healed up and grew new tentacles. I'm honestly amazed how tough they are. Give it time and it may be o.k.
