Anemone in a Koralia 3?

So, I purchased a LTA a bit ago looking pretty sickly from the LFS - it was on its mouth and no stings when touching tentacles - after living in my tank for a month it finally made a recovery and was looking great. Stinging tentacles, eating silversides and very nice looking. It had finally settled down with its foot tucked into a rock, so I pulled my screens off my Koralia 3's. I went to bed last night and woke up to a tank full of nice, white cloudy water. Anemone was no where to be found... This was a pretty large anemone - about 7 inch disc. I finally found what was left of his foot stuck to the inside of the fish guard on the front of my K3. I have NO idea how a K3 pulled the entire anemone through the tiny side slots, but it did. My skimmer went crazy and I ran a ton of carbon. No losses and tank is clear again this evening.. Has anyone ever heard of a Koralia pulling an anemone in?? I didn't think it was possible with such a large anemone?

 

Yep once they die they get very soft and squishy. Havent heard many of these storys with as happy an ending as yours.

 

My anemone was pulled into my AquaClear-50. I lucked out and removed it before it died. That would have been bad. Happens all the time dude. You are definitely not alone.

 

Yeah, I've had several anemones before, I just can't belive it actually got pulled into a Koralia of all PHs out there.... Just blows my mind... Poor guy... My clowns still haven't realized whats happening and are trying to host the rock where he was... I'm not sure how I'll break the news to them ;-)

 

cover your koralias with a pad then they cant get in it....all my in's are covered....
