    So I completed transferring my tank to my 72g bowfront today. I moved my fish anemone and coral into a ten gallong while everything settled in the tank. When I went to move the fish and anemone my yellow tail damsel was gone like Houdini. I had one piece of rock in the tank which I moved as well idk if the damsel got inside it but he's Mia as of now :(

    what kind of anemone? it could well be hidden in the rock, regardless i would either keep everyone in a larger container or keep the anemone on its own. it could be your making it real easy for her to grab a snack in such a confined place....

    they are now all in the 72g but I can't find the find. It is a long tentacle anemone the damsels swim through it fine idk if the small space made him a snack its tentacles are four to five inches long I'm hoping he was in a rock I moved my cat could have made him a snack too. Right now I'm building my rack to hold my lights while I build canopy. Its gonna be a cheap build so I will be using a couple pallets to build a beautiful canopy

    it could be either the nem got it or it's holed up inside a rock - I've had fish disappear and then appear so I'm hoping yours is hiding. I'm not sure about the cat :)
