i've always wanted a tube anemone and i got one for my ten gallon nano and it died after like two days i was wondering if my peppermint shrimp ate it because there was nothing left of it just the casing.

I don't think your shrimp ate it...in fact I suspect mine of actually eating one of my shrimp.

Mine almost always retracts into the sandbed during the day, leaving only a bit of the tube casing visible. It then opens up around dusk for feeding time.

then idk what happened IME anemone's usually die slowly but this one just disappeared and the only things in the tank were a mandarin and two peppermints and some corals but the corals dont move obviously

What kind of turnover rates are you guys keeping on your Nano Anemone tanks?

20g custom tank with a Rose Bubble Tip Anemone (Entacmaea quadricolor).

In my tank the anemone went in early. I had most of the frags on the sand while the anemone roamed around on the rock. He settled in about 3 days and then I started moving the frags on to the reef.
