this is another reason why hes in a weird spot hes prob getting enough food from what your feeding and water quality is good enough for him where he is too, im sure once hes healed better he will come out of hiding:P

Question Same here

I have a pink tip anemone and he does the same thing if i move him he just moves back down the rock and into the shade.
My carpet anemone shrinks when the blue antinics are on then opens back up once the daylights come on or when moon lights are on.

Ideally the nem should have stayed in the same tank where it split until it had time to heal. For now, until it forms a new mouth, it can't eat but it can absorb NO3 from the water, and use light as nourishment. Unfortunately it sounds like light is a no go too. As it is, it may take a while to heal with 2 of its 3 sources of nourishment impaired. For now if it was mine, I would leave it a couple more days, maybe a week total since you first put it in the tank. Between splitting and moving, its had a pretty adventurous time. So keep an eye on it for the week, to give it time to relax, maybe it will come out on its own. If it wont come out, use the powerhead trick to get it to move. The added light will help a lot in recovery, especially if you have low NO3.

Well it started to move out of there and it is now outside the cave, so good sign it is not getting any smaller, if anything I thing it looks a bit bigger. It also have nice round bubble tips.

Now I just hope it will not sting any of my corals.
