Hi. The protective cover I have over a filter intake had somehow come off and last night one of my small BTA?s got sucked in, had the foot/body badly mangled by the impeller to where it jammed it up causing the water in the filter to heat as well. I removed what was left of the nem damage seems mainly to the lower half. The tentacles are obviously not inflated but when I removed and placed in a separate container and slowly rinsed off as much as damaged pieces I thought some tentacles slowly moved. As such I placed the nem back in the display in one of those breeding traps (see pics). Tentacles still have color, I don?t know about actual tentacles movement anymore as there is current in tank but my question is how does one know when the nem is actually dead as I canny imagine it survived the damage and temp increase but as the tentacles have color I was willing to try. It?s in a 30g so I am concerned about the water quality of the nem is degrading. Appreciate any help (best pics I could get)
