Hey all! So I’ve had my tank for about two years. After trials and tribulations tank has been good in terms of parameters. We’ve decided to get our first anenome for our 2 clownfish to host (hopefully). But we have some concerns
It’s been almost 24hours since anenome has been in tank. It was floating around and finally found a beautiful space to sit. Overnight it decided to dig itself (diagonally almost upside down) in the crevice between two rocks.
Is this normal? Should I attempt to move? How long does it take to get comfortable. How big will it get and what amount of time? When should we begin to worry?

It’s getting some descent lighting. I would say a little less than the lighting at the store. We see it’s tips blossom a bit but then shrivel when the clownfish hover above it (they seem interested)

All feedback is welcomed! I’ll add some pics but they were tough to get.

Unfortunately anemones are going to go where they want to go lol. As long as it looks healthy I'd let him be to find his place. If he gets in a spot you don't want him you can try moving it, but it really stresses them out. Best way i've heard is using a power head to basically annoy it into letting go.
 
Not sure what kind it is but they move. Just moved 4 btas back into my display. All moved somewhere else after. Some disappeared for a couple days. I wouldn’t worry at this point and would leave it alone

I honestly not sure what kind it is either
 
do not attempt to move it. anemones will move where they are happy, just keep them away from the powerheads. "if it's not moving and it's not dead, it's happy"
What are the top songs that it’s dead?
 
Yep they do this it will come out in its own time
Just let it be
