    I had an anemome get shredded by my Koralia #4. Is their anything I can put around it? So that if my gbta gets to close I will not have this problem again.. When I left for work this morning. I noticed that it had moved behind the rock sometime during the night.

    Any help would be appreciated.

    Not really. The water needs to flow in from behind the prop to get blown out. I lost an anemone to a powerhead once also. The only way I know of is to keep the PH away from the anemone and hope it doesn't move (and consequently find it----as mine did). Sorry man.

    from what i know of nems, there not suposed to move. Thats not a good sighn that they are happy. as for covering PHs some people cover theres with a mesh of some type, but im not sure if this even works. and if it does i would imagine it would reduce flow on your PH witch isnt good either.

    Mine got caught in the powerhead while I was work work a couple days ago. I turned the powerhead off and removed him then set him back in a good spot! He has now regrown and not moved...
