Carpet Anemone Help

[Pittsburgh88]

Purchased my first nem yesterday. A small size carpet mem about 3 inches. He attached to a rock right away this morning he is gone I cant find it anywhere all intakes and power heads are clear. How long should I let him go before I start really searching for it?

75 Gallon Reef close to 2yrs old
LED lighting.
2 powerheads on each side of tank.
2 clown fish.

Anenomes need stronger lights then zoas. What par are you getting at the bottom?

What kind of anemone?
At 3 inches I bet it is a maxi mini..
They go hiding once in a while. I had min squeeze in a little hole in a rock once and pop out the other side.

I would leave it alone. Don’t go search for it or try and move it. Do you know what species it is?

 

[Pittsburgh88]

I would guess it's a mini as well my LFS just had it listed as a carpet nem I found it hes hiding pretty good in the dark atm.
