BTA hiding

[PUParrothead]

Anyone had this experience? I stepped off the deep end and bought my first anemone over the weekend (Rose BTA) and after acclimation I moved it into the tank. It has immediately moved down underneath one of my base rocks against the sand. I know they move around but this particular spot has low flow and light so I guess I don't get it. It has stayed in the same spot for over a day now and I'm beginning to wonder if it needs rescued. As a newbie to anemones is this anything I should worry about? Thanks

My RBTA did this when I first got it. After a few days, it moved to a place where it could get light and flow, but that place was the back of the tank where I could hardly see it, much less feed it. Eventually, I ended up moving it when I moved things to another tank. My experience has been that after it's settled in and has quit moving, you can move the rock it's on to a better location.

I wouldn't worry too much yet. The anemone will move to a spot that it feels most comfortable.
