It finally happened, BTA in powerhead

[jesuses]

So who's up?
just woke up right now, 2:30am, to the sound of a stuck powerhead, I already knew it was my new BTA. I've been turning off the single powerhead in my frag tank every night incase it moved, but tonight I thought it would stay in the same spot were its been for days, wrong! The 3 fish and all the pissed off corals are out, but now what? 100% water change? Do the corals have a good chance of surviving since I got them out in only a few mins? Thanks in advance for any help

Wow tonight just got sooo much crappier. I guess all the noise I was making scared my Picasso in the DT. I got some expensive fish jerky now

Sorry to hear about your bad luck tonight. For what it's worth, I once had a BTA get sucked into a ph and get totally obliterated and I didn't even know so I did nothing and everything in the tank was fine. It had been hiding behind the rocks at the back of the tank for days and I just thought it was still there but then couldn't find it when I went to look... then I found a few teeny tiny pieces on the sand bed.

Ya the BTA wasn't even badly hurt, looked like it was just scraped a little. The tank probably would have been fine.I'm just letting the water mix now, bummed about the clown.
