Default Sad tank move story.

I moved the contents of my 52 into the new 75 last weekend. After the move things looked real good. The RBTA was fully expanded and very colorful. However overnight it became suicidal. Monday morning I found it had crawled to the top of the tank, and tangled with the Seio 620. During the encounter it lost a large number of its tentacles. I moved the Seio away from the Anemone and let it be. Later in the day it found its way to the bottom of the tank looking very bedraggled. In the area where it was now located is the intake for the Fluval 304. I had carefully piled some rocks on its intake so no animal would tangle with it (I thought)
However, this morning I found the anemone had crawled between the rocks to to have an unpleasant encounter with the Fluval intake. It was now in two small pieces, but still somewhat alive. Rather than allowing it to die and foul the tank, I granted its death wish by scraping its remaining pieces into the white telephone.
