last night my nem walked into my powerhead I just put in earlier.. Not sure if he will live or if I should just junk him.. He didnt get chewed up to to bad as i was sitting 20 feet from the tank and heard it, he was only in for like 30 secs tops. he lost some tenticles around the outside of him about 1/4 the way around, he doesnt want to stick his foot anywhere and keeps flipping upside down in the sand. Ideas and thoughts anyone?

I would say leave it alone and wait. it can regrow the lost tentacles. The only issue is infection which will kill it. To assist, I would say keep your nitrates and phosphates in check to reduce stress while it recovers. The more stressed it becomes, the more likely it will gain an infection and not make it.
