I protected my overflow and power heads with plastic mat material after my Anemone got chomped by my power head. Today I noticed a few corals didn't open so I looked and a huge snail I had went under the mat lifting it high enough so that both of them got sucked into the power head inlet. The snail was a goner and ended up being food for my Acans and the Anemone looks like he may make it. He is in the low flow refugium taking a time out.

Annoying. So unfortunate since you did everything right.

Darn snails! That's why I don't have many snails they're always getting into trouble!

Everyone knows that the natural enemy of the snail and anemone is the power head. Doesn't everyone know this?  |

Especially when they work together to attempt suicide!  |

Nothing that another wire tie won't fix. The Anemone is doing ok this morning after a feeding.

I do. I reduce the lighting due to the Anemone being injured, once it starts rejuvenating I gradually start increasing the light this allows it to heal and not damage tissue.
