My maroon clownfish has buried or relocated one of my favorite mushrooms. I've tried sifting through the sandbed, but no luck. What are the chances it will resurface? Can it live buried in the sand?

Mushrooms will sometimes let loose from the rock their on. There are a variety of reasons this happens, I would say the most common issue is too much flow. It is most likely in a nook and cranny of your rock work. Unfortunately a mushroom can not live buried in sand. I would restrain from sifting through your sand bed and look around your aquascape. Stirring up the sand could cause a cloud and make it harder to locate.
If you are able to find it, you can try putting it in a mushroom box in order to get it to attach to some substrate. You can buy mushroom boxes online/ 3d print one, or make one at home using some Tupperware. I hope this helps, good luck!

I'm giving up hope. It wasn't on a rock, just sitting on the sandbed. My clown likes to make big valleys with her tail so who knows what happened to it. Rics have become hard to come by so it makes this harder to accept.
I have a bunch of yumas when your ready! Sometimes you find them later.
