ok, i have moved it to a pile of rubble, and put some rocks a little bit on it, i also noticed that it seems like some of its tenticles have been sucked...dry? took clearish white and very stragley...anyone know what i should do?...this is the 1st time that it has been injured when being sucked in...what can i do to prevent this...the anemone seemed to be moving up very close to the powerhead before the incident...ugh... | |
