It Happened...And pissed.

[GottisEgo]

Wake up this morning, water is alittle cloudy and smelly. Low and behold, my GBTA was sucked and shredded in my Koralia. It was firmly planted on the rock when I went to sleep, and some how got up to the pump.

So I spent a good 20 mins fishing everything of him out of the tank, the best I could and thrashing him. Could not do a water change as I had to leave the office. Will do so when I return home. I closed my home office door, open the windows wide, and preparded to open it when I get home to a funk!!

Needless to say, I dont think I will be introducing a Anemone into my tank anytime soon. This GBTA was crawling around everywhere and it was frustrating because I knew there was a possibility of his demise in those Koralia's. EH!

I hear ya, I have a Koralia in my 90 gal on a timer to go on when my lights go on..there is a Blenny thats makes it his perch when it is off..one day I know he is gonna forget to get out before it turns on!

No pics. This was early in the morning as I'm getting ready to get to work. All I was concerned about was fishing out as much remains as possible, and start filling my BRUTE with RO/DI water to do a 50% water change when I get home.

The even better part of the story(sarcastic) is I have a pair of True Percula's arriving today from LiveAquaria.Com .

Oh man,sorry to hear this happened to you.
I have a condy that climbs all over the plac ealso.My daughter actually noticed one afternoon that it had a tentacle up the hob filter and unplugged it.It's had a few close calls.I hear you one not wanting any more anenome's in the tank.When it's not stinging corals it's looking to get sucked into something...they're all a PITA.
Was there any other fish/inverts in the tank?

They are definantely a PITA. Inhabitants were very few. 1 Algae Blenny, Clean up Crews, Frag of Frogspawn, 20 Polyps of Zoa's (which totally closed up from this) and a frag of GSP.

I am going to try and do a 50% water change during lunch time, since I have the luxury to have my office about .5 miles from my condo. I have the RO/DI water filling the Brute now so we shall see.

 

[stingythingy45]

Yeah,hopefully you can get everything cleaned up before you new inhabitants arrive.

 

[GottisEgo]

I hope so.

Sorry to hear about the loss. We have a Koralia and an RBTA and were paranoid that this would happen to ours too. It still could but my wife saw a mod for the Koralia's on RC that could possibly save it.
