anemone in filter?

so i opened up my fx5 to remove the polishing pads since they were more trouble than worth and found a small purple tip anemone. its about 1" across but this is the second one i found. anyone have this happen before? i'm not sure if i wan to put him in the main tank but i'm guessing these are non-photosynthetic? i always thought they needed at least a lil' bit o' light. i found one before that had like a 2" foot on it but he was damaged before i even knew he was there and tossed it.

 

so i put him in the tank for the better lighting and the tenticle shaft is neon/fourecent green with purple tips. is this a purple tip?

 

can you snap some pics?

could be a good or a bad guy

 

i would love to snap pics but my lovely clepto ex roomie vanished with it.

 

does it look like this?
may not right now cause of the lack of light, give it a few days to regain it's color

nope. he looks exactly like a purple tip but the green color in the tentacle shaft. until i saw the green in the light i would've sworn it was a purple tip. i had a purple tip long time ago but it vanished. it was at least 9 months ago.

 

We're new around here but we have a reoccurring problem. Our green anemone, about 5 inches, keeps getting sucked up by our power head. This time it happened in the middle of the night and the thing looks really bad ( and our tank is extremely cloudy). Why is it doing this and how can we prevent it?
