I would let him try to remove him self, or gently hand the powerhead upside down under water and try to shake him loose, I would also add iodine, it will help him heal...if its not already dead.

Thanks. I tried lightly shaking him but it did'nt work. He still seem to be alive but I haven't been able to get him out completely, yet.. Im worried about having him tear if I do to much with him. Plus he is poisons so that limits me from using my hands...
Is there a certain" band" for the iodine that I should get?
Thanks again for your help...

My anemone has falling out of my flow jet and seems to have a little damage to him. Not allot, but enough that I can see a small peice that got torn. I will get a test for the iodine and then see if I can add it to the tank to help the anemone....
Thanks Again for all your help :eek:)
