Anemone stuck between overflow walls

My anemone recently got stuck in my power head. I was able to turn it off and let him free himself however after escaping the blower he somehow has managed to get in between the walls of my overflow area. I’m not able to remove part of the wall and get him out. My question is will he be able to survive in there and if not will he cause the rest of my fish and coral to die? I’m not sure what to do and I honestly don’t know how he could even get into the wall of the overflow. I can add some pictures. Also I have now put something over the power head to prevent this happening again.

Turn it off. You should be able to dissemble that bottom portion. If not, put a few ice cubes in a ziploc bag and touch it to the foot gently until it let's go.
