Lost RBTA

[Orchids]

After a water change last week I noticed my RBTA which had been thriving up to this day and previous water changes has vanished. It is almost a week now and there is no sign of it. The water parameters before and after are the same and this water change was no different than any other. I am concerned for two reasons; 1) I really like it and 2) if it is dead or almost dead, I do not want to have to deal with the amount of waste it will product upon decay. I have looked under and around the rocks I am able to move, but nothing.

Anyone have this happen and then have the anenome reappear?

It was probably unhappy and went for a walk. I've had this happen in my tank and they can show up in a different place a week later.
If it does'nt it will probably slowly shrivel up and disappear as opposed to disintegrating quickly and polluting your tank. You must let it alone to find it's happy place.

It may have went into hiding to split, 50% of them will get deap in the rock to do that.
Keep looking for her and I bet she is doing just that. Good luck

Are you sure it hasn't gotten demolished in powerhead intakes or anything like that? It's happened to me

Yes. Lesson learned.
