So the other day I got a couple porcelain crabs and a BTA and while I was acclimating them, one of the crabs grabbed onto the anemone like
th
and didn't let go. When I put them in my tank, the crab was still holding on and checking the next day, was still in love. Now I don't know where my anemone is! It's been about 4 days since I've seen it. Could my new crab loved it to death??
 
Give it time I’m sure it’s disappeared in to your rock work. If not I’d get a restraining order on that crab ASAP :)
 
Found my anemone!! Its in the back, tucked amongst rocks where we can't see it or feed it. Think if it doesn't get food, it will move to a better place?? At least I know ok!! Idk if the crab is still loving on it though. I can only see a corner of the anemone
 
You don't have to feed at all really, light is their main source of energy, so it will be fine unfed unless it's bleached.

Often they will hide if new to tank especially if your lighting is stronger than what they were under at LFS, which is pretty typical, so often they need to acclimate.
 
Amoo suggests not target feeding at all for like 2 weeks.
