I have had my bubble tip anemone for about 1 week everything seemed to be ok untill tonight. He shriveled up to about the size of a golf ball and went behind the rocks. He has been there for about 3 hours now. Is he dying or do they do this sometime. Someone please let me know.

My rose tip draws in its tentacles like that every night. When the halides come on its expanded again on its rock
The anenome will do this and move until it finds a satisfactory location to meet its needs
just make sure there is no coral in its path

that can also be a way of expelling waste. the shrink and expand for a whole variety of different reasons.

Dont stress too bad about it. mine shrinks and grows as it wants also. They also replace the water within themselves regularly. They do this by shrinking then re filling. If you notice its mouth looks gaping or it is starting to dissolve, get it out.
