Had a Black widow BTA delivered on Nov.30th from TSA. He looked great in the bag and once I placed him in the tank he was open and fluffy. After about 2 hours, he did what anemones do and took off. I haven't seen him since his introduction. This has been almost 2 weeks.
I have anemone guards on powerheads and no signs of him being chopped up or sucked up into anything else. No sump and not in HOB skimmer. He was very small though, like half inch, so if he's hiding in a hole, its going to be hard to find. I have a blacklight flashlight that I use once lights go out in hope's of seeing him glowing in a hole somewhere.
Ive heard of anemones hiding, but has anyone ever had one hide longer than a week or 2 and it still be alive?
