Lost a RBTA

[elvictre]

My RBTA split 2 weeks ago, one stood in the original spot and the other moved to another rock. A few nights ago I can't find the one that moved. It can't get into my overflow without coming out of the water :notsure:. Also my clowns split up at first, one went to each anemone, now there both in the one. They can't even find the guy. Any suggestions? I don't want it to die and contaminate my tank.

Keep an eye on the water paramiters, continue to watch the clowns for signs of their possibly knowing where the other one is. Double check overflow and filters.
It could just have found a hole to hide in for now, least I hope for your sake. I don't see any reason why it would just split off and die, it might simply want to hide from the clownfish for now.

I moved rocks around and I still can't find it. What could happen if this thing dies and I can't find it? How would you get him to show his face?

If it dies then it could foul your water and cause an ammonia spike, thus keep an eye on your water paramiters. Run fresh carbon if you suspect it has died and have a water change ready.
The only way you can get him to show himself is by finding him.

I still can't find this guy. It's been over a week. Do they just dissapear into a rock and come out when ready?

It could happen unless it dissolved. They can only live so long without light.
