    My anemone moved around since it crawled into the back of the tank or something..Although it cant be back there now..Since i already looked where it was last time and wasnt there..Can they get into extremely small cranies and stay there and not open up when stressed?

    it moving around is not a great sign. Usually means stressed and not happy, watch your powerheads, mine took a walk before and thought itd check out the powerhead.

    btas are known to move, its not necessarily that they are unhappy, which is usually the case with other anemones, they are just becoming aware of their surroundings. it probably just crawleed behind a rock. just hope it doesnt die without you knowing that could wipe out your tank

    How long have you had it? It may take it a few days to find a spot it likes.
