my power head sucked up my red anomone!!!!

I would give QT a shot, may be a lost cause but you never know. Same for your remaining livestock, quarantining them till it calms down might not be a bad idea. Otherwise 20-40% water changes over the next couple days and LOTS of carbon should pull things through.

 

You have a battle on your hands, but its never too late.

I had a 3 foot ell die and thanks to a few hungry crabs that drilled holes into him over night the ammonia spike and free floating “ell parts” were off the charts. I was very aggressive with my water changes and I went over board with the carbon and used a fish net to get the “ell parts”. Ammonia was gone the following afternoon and no fish died – you can do this as well. I have been in this hobby for years and I have a lot of spare “junk” laying around. I hooked up 3 canister filters and blasted the tank with carbon and was aggressive with the changes (you need to ensure the temp and PH are matched to your tank before performing a large water change)

You can over come this and save the rest of your fish….tell yourself that, believe it and go do it, its never too late. Plus. You have all of us here !

 

As stated, get carbon in your tank.
Now that said, what type of lighting do you have for your tank? The anemone in the photo is extremely bleached. The trunk should be a rich brown color, not faded pink like some of the tentacles. Make sure you are feeding it meety foods as well, it will help regrow the zooxanthellae and bring back the color.

 

ok I'm just curious as to how old your tank is, and what type of lighting you have going on. That anemone looked really unhealthy from the pic that you have up and your rock also looks kinda barren which leads me to believe that the system is rather new. Most of the time, if the tank is established and the anemone is comfy they hardly ever move. mine has been on the same rock for 2 years now and this even includes moving that said rock to my new tank.

 

i have lost the lot. thanks for all the advise but it must have happend early in the day when i was at work. i am in the process of modifying the power head's to try and prevent this from happerning again.

 

the tank is about 12 mounths old. it has T5 twin lighting with sun glo and reef sun. i had the anenome in for about 12 hours as it was a new purchase.
i have only been keeping marine for 2 1/2 years. i am very diapointed as i was taken things slowley, i had a smaller tank that i used for getting the water correct and mature. i then got a new tank and started setting it up using the water from the smaller tank.

 

Honestly your lighting just isn't enough to support an anemone like that. Just wouldn't work regardless
