Default Fantastic flying nudibranch

hey.

got home from work yesterday and found one of my two nb on the filter of the 1200 ph. Just as i was thinking i ought to take him off a nb flew out of the p/h ( in twenty pieces) a couple of fish took bites and spat it out, i quickly turned off the power head and rescued the n/b which was stuck halfway through the inlet grill,(cant believe it got sucked into there) pulling it with a pippette.
Any way a bit later i notice a small piece of the lettuce moving, sure enough the lettuce that went through the power head was about a 1/4 of the length it use to be and was still alive!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Unbelievable, one day later it looks a bit worse for wear but is still alive! i am now in the process of covering the grill with stockings, hopefully stop any more mishaps

I'm starting to hate having pwr hds(new tank will be drilled)the only way to keep things totally safe is to use a sponge fitted over the in-take.

Hello,

Yeah I'm not a huge fan of "in-display-tank" powerhead either.
