Hi, Bought a BT Anemone recently and it was about 3in. It went hiding ever since i put it in my tank. Just found it recently and it is so small and in a difficult place to reach even for feeding... what should i do? Thanks in advance.

Let it do its own thing. Anemones don't really need feeding also. The little guy's still new so let him settle, feeding to early on might stress it even more. If it needs more light, it'll move or stretch to get it.

Sounds like a plan, thanks.

My bubble tip anemone also has been hiding since I put it in a handful of days ago. We have rock arches and it moved and planted itself in the underside of the arch hanging upside down and it stretches into a J-shape to reach out into the light at times and other times it either shrinks up small or hangs stretched out with longer tentacles. Bizarre, but they do what they want. Hoping it’ll relocate eventually.

Just sharing some updates.... it wasn't easy but was feeding her as much as I could... just today she came out from her hiding place and placed herself in a more open part of the tank.
