So I have a couple Flower Anemones in my tank which have been doing great. I had one that was on the sand in the front of my tank that was attatched to some rubble. I fed it last night and went to bed. This is a XL Anemone so it stands out. I wake up this morning and I noticed it is completely gone. It is no where to be found. Is it normal for flower anemone to just detatch like that and go with the current similar to bubble tips. I looked all over my tank and cannot find it. I checked my power head to see if it got sucked in and their is no sign at all. Has anyone else had something like this happen where it just disappears.

Rock flowers will sometimes up and relocate just for kicks. They won’t float with the current, but they are capable of moving unbelievable distances in a very short period of time.
I’d get a small flashlight and check under, behind and in small crevices. They sometimes end up in unusual spots.

Yeah I had one got missing for a couple days to find out that he didn’t want to be seen anymore and was underneath my ledge in a deep dark hole. It stayed there for a few weeks and then came back out about 1/3 the size and hasn’t recovered since

In my experience that usually means he caught something. Every time old rock flowers caught a crab snail or even a fish it would bury its self. Keep an eye out for an empty shell over the next couple of days.
