I have gotten 2 different anemones in the last 3 month, one went to the back of the tank after about a week, then just disappeared and the second one disappeared the first night. I have not seen either for many weeks even after moving the live rock, no signs of either. Do they just die from starvation or lack of light.
I’m with you on this, I just got two RBTA yesterday, a medium sized one and one the size of the tip of my pinky! And within 30 min they both were moving all over my rock! The small one somehow managed to get across the sand and into a cave in my tank towards the bottom and the bigger one moved all the way to the top of my tank and is not attached to the glass lol. Hoping my clowns host it as they appear to be currently annoying my big purple bubble coral lol. You’re not in the learning process alone, best of luck!I just purchased a beautiful rose bubble tip anemone. He was placed in my 75 gallon tank on the bottom and unfortunately he has decided to wedge himself in a cave-like area under a rock. He appears to be perfectly healthy and is a beautiful deep red. I did notice that one of the two clownfish has become aware of his presence and will go up to him, but he can not "host" it yet due to the position of the anemone. Will he eventually move out to a more "open" area as to fully extend the tentacles or is this permanent? Here is a photo:
Thanks in advance.

I have heard captive bred clowns can be a bit “dumb” when it comes to using their anemones. Don’t be discouraged if your clowns don’t start using it right away. I have heard taping a picture of a clown in an anemone or playing a video on repeat of an anemone hosting clowns can help encourage them. As ridiculous as that soundsHere he is a day later. Looking better, waiting for the clownfish to notice.
