Anemone got sucked into my dads powerhead. anemone looks like its still mostly all in one piece maybe some tentacles got chopped up.. I placed it in my tank in a low current part of my tank. I tried to place the foot on the rocks so it would hold on to it and not get blown all around my tank. But with no success. What are your thoughts on helping this anemone.

If the foot looks okay I think it should have a good shot at pulling though. If it turns into a ball of goo though... Take it out.

Ditto to what Spbeyond said. Also something that might help is put a container in there with plenty of holes put it over a rock and the anemone and then it should attached to either the container or the rock.

As long as the body is not shredded up, or the 'guts' start oozing out, it should pull through
