Bought a Sebae anemone about a week and a half ago. settled in well and stayed put for the first few days. I knocked it free Monday, and it was floating around still when I went to bed.

On tuesday morning it was attached at the near the back of the tank. Now it has crawled in behind the rockwork, where it will get no light???

Will it crawl back out, or should I tear things apart an "Rescue" it?

They can move around if they want to. Invariably, they never stay right where you want them to be anyway. I would say leave it alone.

Most likely it will seek the light...if not, it is sick and will most likely die.

Give it time, it will likely come out all on it's own. My BTA hid for a week before it came out.

OK, now it appears to be releasing something? milky fluid? corals seem to be ok with it so far(biting nails in fear!!!!)

Check out page 7 of this link. It states that nothing should be oozing out of its mouth. Without seeing it, I'd imagine its stressed. I hope it all goes well for it.
