Is this normal behavior?

I just got my first Green bubble tip on Sunday. The first night he moved over behind the rock wall and hasn't been out since. The rocks form kind of a ledge so it is pretty dark back there. Is it normal for them to hide like that? I thought he would want some light? On a side note, our 3" Kole tang also disappeared Sunday night. I'm assuming he was eaten. Could a full belly be his reason for not coming out? Thanks.

Well this can be normal for bubbles to do.Now did you acclimate him to your light or do you have light about like where he originaly came from?How big is the anemone?I would not this a newly introduced anemoenwould eat a fish that fast as bubbles tend no to be to sticky and very rearly eat any fish!Also what color is the anemoen light green or bright vibrant green?

The lights at the store were MH and I am running T5's. I acclimated with temp and then moved the light to one side of the tank and put him on the other so it wouldn't be so harsh right off the bat. Whether or not he ate the fish is purely speculation on my part. The Tang didn't look so hot that night (everything else in the tank looks fine) and I just haven't seen him since. The anemone is a bright green ( looks very similar to the one in your avatar, but brighter) with a purple/maroon ish foot and I'd guess 8-10" across when fully open. The store tank was huge so he didn't seem so big when I picked him out.

update: just found the missing Tang, or at least the rotting corpse, so I know it wasn't eaten.
