 |  Open brain came off of skeleton
I was very upset to find my open brain to be sucked onto one of my pumps. It seemed to be doing great (I've had him for about two years). Although I did notice him growing much bigger lately, which I thought was great. He must have came off and floated around until he got sucked onto the pump. I turned it off for a day but then eventually had to gently pry him off, trying not to damage him too much. I placed him back onto the skeleton but he seems to be just lying on it. How do I get it to secure himself back on?

Well, I don't know what's going to happen but right now he actually looks really good. It's just sort of "sitting" in a corner of the tank but is blown up nice and full and the colors look great. | |

And here I was thinking you would post several days after the incident saying that it was dead... Guess that shows you how much I know. lol
I thought for sure it couldn't live without it's base.
