Got an anemone last night. A bulbble tip. It was doing great had the round bubbles with tips at the end and now in the morning it was gone completely into a crack between two rocks i put it in. Its tentacles are defalted or elongaated and the beautiful bubble tips no longer remain. I saw a crab next to it so i'm worried.

Your anemone is stressed from the recent move. It is normal for them to retract, hide, and move for the first few days and remain inconsistent for even the first few weeks.

They often move to the back of the tank, behind, or between rocks for safety. You do not need to move it back to the light (moving it at all is a bad idea). They need light, and they will eventually move back into it. For now, just let it do its thing and try to offer it something to eat the next few days.

Good luck :thumbsup:
