I purchased a rock anemone a week ago and it has totally disappeared. I know that they move around but should I be worried that It is caught under a rock or will it reappear?

They do this. I have several in a 100 gal tank and on occasion one will even move to the other side of tank at night, attach between or under a rock where you cant see him. Eventually he'll move again where he gets better light or likes the condition.I purchased a rock anemone a week ago and it has totally disappeared.

Have you protected the filters or powerheads. I have a bta that got stuck in my overflow when it was knew, post is on here somewhere. Sometimes they will hide away when they are new to acclimate to the light.
What are your tank perameters? It could be unhappy with your water
Sometimes they will put their foot under a rock and then stretch out to get the light. This can take them a few days
If they are really unhappy/stressed/Ill they can just melt away but this would normally make your tank cloudy.
If you are really worried you can hunt for it just be careful moving rock incase it's foot is attached between 2 rocks.
Sounds like a good idea. I'm never a big fan of moving rocks, I was just giving a heads up to be careful if you did. Anemones can be picky, just give it time it should show itselfI have a backguard for my Nero 5 and I already looked in my overflow. I just had my tank serviced last week by my LFS and he said the parameters were perfect.
I really don't want to start moving any rocks so I guess I have to be patient, keep my fingers crossed and wait.
