Hey all,
Back again with another situation.
I have a tube anemone that I've had for a few weeks now.
2 days ago, it decided it wanted to move & got caught in the powerhead. Luckily, I caught it right away (I was about to leave for work, so could've been way worse).
I tucked it back in the sand bed & turned the powerhead off, since I knew it would be most likely moving again.
Came home from work & it had found a new spot in a hole in a rock, was completely opened & seemed happy. It's tube was still intact, but it did have damage to the end if about 3 tentacles.
I plugged the powerhead back in, checked on it a few times over the following few hours & all was good.
Fast forward to today. When I left for work it was in the same spot it had been in on the rock, but I came home from work & it's gone. Like, entirely. The outer tube is in the rock, so im guessing it dropped it & moved because of the damage it took, but I cannot find it ANYWHERE in the tank. I didnt dig thru the sand bed or anything but it's about 1.5" in diameter so I figure it'd be fairly easy to see, no matter where it went.
I took the powerhead out & checked it, it didn't get caught in there. It's not in any of my filtration.
Where else could it be? How long do they hide in the sand bed as they rebuild their tube? Do they come out at all as they rebuild their tube?
If it somehow died, should I search for it to remove it?
Idk what to dooooo lol
