Anemone under the rocks

[SurfTrack]

I added a small BTA anemone yesterday and it moved under a rock. Is this normal? Should I be worried?

I have them do the same thing, give it a little time.

Still hiding under the rock? Its been days, should I be worried?

I wouldn’t worry. They tend to have a mind of their own. Eventually it should move into the open. I had a new nem stay under a rock for weeks. Thought I lost it and couldn’t find it then one day there he was on top the rock and fully opened. He’s been their for 6 months now in the same spot and has a clown that’s become friends with after another 3 months.

I wouldn't worry much.

I run a dedicated BTA tank and some of them stay under the rock for months and are some of the healthiest, most colorful ones I have.

Just try to look at it at some point to view mouth if possible.
