Good morning everyone and happy thanksgiving! So I recently added a RBTA into my nano tank and I know they tend to move themselves to spots they like and are happy with but this guy is literally in the live rock. And just keep going deeper. Do you guys think it’ll come out eventually? Should I blast it with some flow to get it out? Or just leave it be? Sorry I just think it’s weird seeing it just deep into the rock, never had a nem that did this. I have a photo of where it was last night and then where I found it in the morning

I would just let it do it's thing. It may be hiding for various reasons. ( too much flow, light, because it is adapting to your water quality etc.) Give some time. If you irritate it (blast it with flow) in a new tank you are probably not doing it any favors.
How old is your tank? While I have personally put in anemones in a new tank, it is mostly generally accepted to not put in one in a non- established tank.

Agree with "leave it be". It will eventually find its happy place. I had one take a trip of five feet before it found a spot it liked.

Thanks for the advice! And the tank is currently 6 months old.
