Scared Anemone!!!!!

[MSHofferberth]

Tonight I was feeding my Bubble Tip Anemone some shrimp when all of the sudden it totally shut up and went into hiding in the Rock work it was attached to. Before this it was out in the open hosting it's best friend my gorgeous Fire Clown. My question is this. Should I be concerned? Will it eventually come out from hiding and continue hosting the Fire Clown? and Is this normal behavior of an Anemone? My Fire Clown has been going nuts trying to coax the Anemone out of hiding. He's making quite a mess with the sand. I notice it hanging down behind the Rock work. Do you think it will come out in the open as it did before? Any help would be greatly appreciated.

If it drew into itself and the rock immediately after feeding, this is a normal reaction and nothing to be alarmed about. It should come back out in the next few hours.

Thanks reefshadow. As you predicted I just came home and it was out in the open as before hosting The Fire Clown. Again thanks for your help at putting me at ease. It's greatly appreciated!!:rollface:
