BTA sucked into power filter. help!

went to bed last night, anemone was fine in its rock that it has been in for about 2 weeks. woke up, sucked around the powerhead. the foot was on the glass but now has released, and it was sucked all the way around the intake at the bottom of the tank (so that the mouth is like at the bottom of it). i dont think hes dead since his foot detached and is starting to come off. some of his tentacles are beginning to inflate a little on one side, but the other side is sucked in so far that you can't even see tentacles.
do i need to gently remove him from the intake? or just keep it off and let him try to get out on his own?

 

only half of him seems to be coming off. so he is alive. i can't see what the other part of him looks like. any suggestions?

 

my LTA anemone found my Protein skimmer two days ago. just leave it off. DO NOT try and help it. it will get out on its own. my LTA is fine and ate yesterday. good luck and with pics i can help you MUCH more.

 

5 min to let camera battery to charge. then will post

 

It should be fine, aslong as there is nothing that can snag its tenticles. I came home to mine in my powerhead one day. I turned the powerhead off and it slowly worked its way out.

can anyone give me suggestions on how to get him out of there?

 

I would remove the end piece that he is stuck in and gently lay it down in the tank until he removes himself off it, then just put the end back on.

 

okay
how long does it usually take for him to workhimself out? when will i know if I need to intervene and cut the plastic to get him out?

 

it took mine an hour. just let it do its thing and you should be fine.
