I bought a very small RBTA from my LFS yesterday. I’ve never had an anemone before, so I was a bit apprehensive with regard to handling and placing it in my tank. I have a 125 gallon setup and attempted to place the RBTA in my desired location understanding that it may move somewhere else.
I didn’t turn off my powerheads while handling the RBTA and it slipped out of my hand and blew to the back of the tank. I couldn’t see where it landed because of all the live rock in the way. I attempted to move some pieces to see better and I never found the RBTA.
What are the chances it survives? It’s foot is very small, when it was opened at the lfs there was maybe 4-6 heads on it. It’s body was under 1/2” wide for sure. I looked for it today and didn’t see anything. Is my best bet patience from here?
It landed somewhere behind that pile of rocks.
