Alot of them don't from this, I've lost a few due o powerheads and filters I've only ever had 1 recover and it recovered quick, I think it's on the nem so size health and species comes into effect.

I use o own llarama's nem and it's been a koralia many times, I scraped it off the fingers of my overflow which it was caught in pretty bad , I officially pronounced it dead after the overflow but it survived and fast too.

Sorry to hear about your nem , I seen someone who had plastic mesh wrapped around their powerheads, not really sure how good it was or if it causes any harm but he did it

Sorry to hear about your nem after my first incident we just made some nylon sleeves for the powerheads that we mainly put over them when he's close to either side of the tank but they greatly hinder the flow from whichever ones end up getting covered.
