So, on saturday my bubble tip anemone, who's about 5-6" across was changing places in the tank, no biggie.

However yesterday (monday) when I came in to the office he was gone.

I've checked the overflow as best I can, looked under all the rocks and in crevices I can without tearing the tank apart, and no sign of him. The tank was too clean for him to have died.

Any ideas? The tank is in my office, and there is a .005% chance someone would come by on a saturday night or sunday and fish him out (truly highly unlikely). I know they can shrink up, but has anyone ever had their anemone disappear and later reappear?

Was that in there yesterday? Casper--WY windier than ?

Down to a 20, soon to double or nothing

Two scenerios:

1) the anemone is moving and will later re-appear

2) the anemone died and you did not notice a change in the water quality

I've had both things happen before - several times.
