Tube Anemone out of tube

[MikeyBoy]

My tube anenome seemed to come out of his tube two days ago.....
He looks fine, other than he is out of the tube.
I thought that he was a gonner, but it appears that he has attached to a rock and is growing another tube...........

Do they do this?? Am I dreaming?

Apparently that is their way of moving around. Check out this link, and look towards the bottom of the page - see paragraph titled "locomotion" under the reproduction section:

mine didn't have a tube when i got it, when i put it in the sand, it secreted a mucus which the sand stuck to. in about 3 days, it had a new tube.
