Well,
Some of you may remember that I had a massive die-off of macro algae in my tank (I won't go into my speculation of why here, it's in the other thread) and as a result, my anemone almost died.
After a 100% water change over 6 days, I was able to clear the water up and a few weeks later, the anemone was back to normal, colored up nicely and extending fully.
On sunday, I got home from church to find the anemone had decided to move and had been sucked into one of my Tunze 6025 pumps. It was severly hurt, and I was not happy.
The anemone had not moved for about a year...
It is still on the road to recovery, and I'm still not sure if it will make it, but I decided to do something I should've done a long time ago. I built these protective coverings for both Tunzes. If the anemone decides to test the waters again, I think these should do a good job of keeping it from getting sucked into the pheads.

I made them using needlework and zip-ties. It's not the prettiest, but it was cheap, and I think it will be effective in keeping the anemone safe during future forays through the tank.
