So I shut that one off for the night. Next morning the nem had found its own spot in amongst the rocks and corals, of course, stinging as it went. SO I turned the powerhead on and watched it for a bit and it seemed to be set where it was. I kept checking it periodically all day and all seemed well. Anyone want to guess what happened next ?? Thats right, Next day woke up to the nem stuck in the powerhead. Slowly I worked the nem out of the housing and cleared all the sand out of a different area and set it there with all the powerheads off this time. Over the course of the next hour it decided that it wanted to check out the other end of the tank, slowly drifting along rubbing here and there. Me moving things out of the way and cleaning up the carnage in it's wake. It finally lodged itself in a new spot clear of all other corals and stayed for half a day, so I turned on powerheads and watched again intermittently all day. Seemed fine. NOPE..... next morning another suicide attempt. Wrapped up very well in the Sicce 4 . Again took almost 10 minutes to carefully remove it with out more damage.I thought I had a terra cotta pot to put it in but couldn't find it, so I placed the nem in a porcelain dish in the corner at the original end . I left the powerhead off but it never stayed for even a few minutes as I'm sure it's totally in shock. So for now because I have no idea wgat to do with it, I placed it and the dish in the sump inside a strawberry basket in the hope that it will attach to the dish and them I can put it in the tank.
I am trying to find a way to keep this guy in my tank without it hurting itself anymore. Would building a egg crate cover over it and leaving it covered for a few days help. Any suggestions ???????

That is the exact reason I stick with LPS and SPS!! I had the same thing happen to me.
