Missing RBTA

[DmitryB]

So my RBTA split and 1/2 of it crawled on to the back glass and was last seen behind rock. Then it crawled somewhere I can't see it anymore. It's been, I think, 3 days now. Should I be concerned? I assume (hope) it will come out when it's ready for some light and food?

Check your sump or if the tank is an aio check the back compartment. I have found mine In the back area in my aio. Also check small crevices, sometime BTA’s will shrink and hide.

I had my anemone vanish for two days before. It snuck inside my aquascape and stayed there for those two days. Eventually, it came out and was fine.

Hopefully it makes itself seen soon. I'm adding 2 Clowns today! (Though to me the large Elegance would make a more comfortable home, tbh. Not sure how Elegance would feel about it, but Starry Blenny keeps visiting it and it doesn't seem to mind.)

Keep an eye out for the anemone. If you're unable to find it in a few days and you're concerned, you may need to move some rocks around to find it. Unless they get stuck on a powerhead or overflow, they're usually totally fine. They may bleach a bit if they're unable to get enough light, but they usually recover quickly.

You'll definitely want your clownfish to use the anemone as their host. They could inflict damage to the elegance by rubbing on it too much and/or with too much force.

It's not stuck to a powerhead, so it's MIA for now. I keep losing thing isn my tanks!

It just popped up its tentacles from behind the rock! Not sure Clowns have seen it yet.
