Default Corn Anenome
I bought a small corn anenome, problem is he moved to a spot where I can barely see and have no way to access to feed.. Its been about 3 days there. Just wondering if I should move some live rock and try and get some food to him? Or will it eventualy move to a more open spot?

Any clues?

TIA

I'm not familiar with a corn anemone...any other name for it?
My experience with anemones is that they move around for reasons of their own.
I don't think that there's any harm in exposing it a bit and seeing if it will take some food from you.

It appears to be another common name for E. quadricolor...

Right. Bubble tips are listed as corn anemones on some sheets.

I am begining to wonder if it is an anenome? It does move around but it seems to shrivel up at night.. I thought anenome's were always open? And only shrink in response to chemistry problems?

nope, they close up a lot at night. Perfectly normal.

Hmmm, ok.. well a bit of my fears are going down. I did find a dead cleaner shrimp near it the other day. So I am thinking it had some shrimp lunch.. And it did take a piece of prawn.

My KH is pretty low tho at 5..

BTA's don't typically eat live cleaner shrimps.

Maybe you saw the result of a shrimp molt?
I've had hungry cleaner shrimps take food right out of some of my bta's.

100% it was not a molt. It had flesh inside and I only have one cleaner shrimp left that I could find .. it was definetly eaten by something.. Maybe not the anenome but it was right beside it.
