    ImageUploadedByTapatalk1334878631.342269.jpg ImageUploadedByTapatalk1334878657.894896.jpg So my husband put a green BTA in our tank three days ago. It seemed happy at first but then started to move yesterday. Now it is nowhere to be found. Here is a pic a few hours before disappearance.... Should I start posting "Lost" signs in my neighborhood?

    Yep that's what I told my husband. I know they can shrink up really small. Ever have any experience with "disappearing" anemones?
