Help, quick! (Long Tentacle Anemone)

[Johnny C]

I was cleaning out my tank just now and I dropped a snail in my tank and it fell into my anemone, shell and all! What should I do... should I be worried? :(

[Tswifty]

I do it all the time with my GBTA... seriously any cerith that falls off of my overflow lands right smack in the middle of my nem... it's the damndest thing. :lol:

I have a pair of 10" tongs I use for spot feeding, and I just pull the snail out with them.

I wouldn't worry about it. Many years ago my Haddoni ate a Queen Conch, a day later the shell came back out.

i see the snail! he's coming back out now, will he just drop or do i need to pull it out myself? I dont have tongs so I would have to use my bare hands!

Using your bare hand would be fine, just remove it slowly, and if there is any real resistance, stop, and try later.
