anemone

Can a sea anemone move around and get stuck between some rocks then die? I mean will getting stuck kill it cause it doesnt like where its at? I have this Long Tentacle Sea Anemone and its in between some rocks and it looks like it might be trying to get out. But it cant.

babygirl,
From my reading and experiences, I have found that Anemones often seek out a crevice to plant their foot in. This is where most of them prefer to situate themselves.

Thanx OfALegend but what if he really is stuck? Is this death for him?

I would have to agree with jeffandnance. I'm sure he put himself in the crevice because that's where he's most comfortable. Most Anemones are comfortable in crevices. It's where they're often found in the wild, and it's a good thing when they have the opportunity to act like they do in the wild, at least to an extent. I wouldn't worry about it for now
