anemone vanished

I had a RBTA in my sump and it has completely vanished.... I checked both pumps and all around the sump, no sign. Can it just dissolve?

Are you sure it hasn't crawled into a hole in a rock? They fit in the smallest of spots.

Has your skimmate production notably increased? If not - it's definitely still in there somewhere...they can really shrink up.

Keep looking, don't give up..... when your skimmer is running OVERTIME, you know that it is to late....

I had the same thing happen to me. I had a green bubble tip for a long time. I added a rose bubble tip and it retracted and stayed like that for months. Then one night it decided to go for a walk and came out to the front of the tank, it was out for a few hours but still all retracted the next morning it was just gone! That happened like 3 months ago and it has yet to be found!
