Bad day for my nem. Pics included

Anyone who owns a condy knows that they move....alot. Well mine decided to move during the night. It decided to pick the intake of my maxi-jet as a good place. This anemone when opened fully is a good 5 inches from tip to tip.

I woke up and quickly removed the plastic filter from the maxi-jet this is what it looked like...

Of course figured it was dead and removed it from the tank. When I removed it I gave it the "smell" test to confirm what I already knew. However, it didn't smell at all. So I placed it back on a rock and the "foot" stuck to the rock.

My maroon and cleaner shrimp to the rescue

Figured I would give it a chance to make it. I was worried about fouling my water, but wanted to at least give it a chance.

This pic was 5 hours after I had originally found it.

It just let go about an hour ago and figured I would snap one more pic. Of course the clown never left its side the entire day. It even skipped meal time.

I'll check on it again in the morning.

 

Excellent documentation.

And good job on deciding the proper intervention. Me I would have ditched it.

Good luck.

 

Congrats on the smell test. Hope it makes it.

 

HE A FIGHTER LADDIE!!!!!!! lol i really hope he makes it seems like hes going to prove you wrong.

 

hope the nem makes it

 

great relief Clarky
it deserves to make it for all its been through

I know it means additional cleaning, but might be worth covering those intakes with foam
