Lost my new anenome?

[Todd_Sails]

I bought a Green tipped bubble anenome yesterday, and put it in a crevice on a rock wall.

Woke up this morning, and can't find it anywhere.
It's not in my intank overflow, not in my filter bag,
I don't think it got into my Koralia evolutions,
I looked everywhere i could in the rocks, couldn't find it.

I have to believe it's somewhere in my rockwork, I just can't find it yet.
Any ideas or words of wisdom?

Give it time. it'll show.

BTAs are known for moving more than most anemones. They will especially hide out in the shade if your lights are brighter than the tank they came from. After a few days they usually adapt and start to creep back out a little at a time.

+1, give it time, it's most likely in your rock work and it could also be deflated, making it harder to see.

It's there, hiding. Even the largest BTA can shrink down to almost nothing, when needed. It'll most likely move around the tank, until it finds it's happy spot, anchoring itself on the underside of your rock work. It'll stretch out, towards the light, during the day, receding under the rocks, at night. Just wait it out, it'll appear somewhere, once it's found it's happy spot.

Thanks to all!

I Have a maxi-mini Anenome, and he is still on the sea shell he came with!

I'll keep looking for him- kinda of a mystery!

I have 2 clowns, one O. clown, one black sebae that I was hoping would eventually go into it.

 

[Todd_Sails]

I found him!
Hiding under/behind a dark area rock near the bottom.

I hope he comes out soon and joins the visual stuff in my DT.

He's still hiding out in the dark place, it's been 3 days.

 

[Todd_Sails]

He came out a few days ago, still in a darker place however, but he/she's now easier to see.

My clowns pay no attention to it, yet, I"m keeping my fingers crossed.
