Coral Beauty + Powerhead = dead coral beauty

I came home today and my coral beauty had somehow got his head stuck in the intake of the rio powerhead I have on my BakPak 2 skimmer. As soon as I saw it, obviously, I extracted him. He was very happy to be free but was swimming in weird circles and then just started free floating around in the tank. He was in really bad shape so I put him in a baggy and put it in the freezer. He was a cool fish and it sucks to lose him, but these things happen I suppose. Another reason not to buy a rio :/
 
oops could a mod please move this to reefs I wasn't paying attention and didn't mean to post it in the sell/trade forum.
 
Sorry for your loss. I feel your pain. Over 2 years ago, I lost a male Target Mandarin because he got stuck in the MJ1200 intake.
