Bubble tip Anemone

So, I've had this guy for almost a month now.

He moved about 5 inches from where I left him originally (thank goodness) but his position he likes lacks moderate flow. Should I keep him there without the flow? I'm just worried if I change anything it'll stress him out. I can move the powerhead or the rock. I just want to do what will be best for it.

Leave it. I have some btas that like high flow and some that like very little flow.

So the lack of flow won't hurt it?

I don't know what water conditions this particular one likes, but you'll see signs of stress if it's not happy.

He will move if it's not happy with the light or flow.

Okay, thanks!

A lot of times they know what's best for themselves. If not they will fix it themselves but they may end up somewhere you may not want.

Also make sure that it is eating, mine really like shrimp of anything else.

Thanks! I've been feeding him frozen shrimp and he hasn't spit any back yet

I cut up a 16/20 store bought and feed 2/3 rds to the cats and cut up the rest and store it in the refrigerator in some RO/DI water. I toss a piece in for the rest of the tank to distract them and use curved tweezers to feed anemone.
Mine is a hungry guy and eats every other day.
