Bubble tip questions..

[Boco]

So this is in a 4 month old tank, the anemone has been in about 2 months now, at first it spent it's first month on the glass next to my powerhead at the top, and this month it has been sitting on the side of a Zoa colony and the last 2 days it has been moving all about the tank. My question is any thoughts on how to get the anemone to settle longer as I want to try and get my clowns to host it but I want it to stay put atleast a month before I try, unless some experts have some good thoughts on how to get the clowns to host sooner as I feel that may help the nem stay in one spot longer.

Pictures on the glass and the wall are from about a month and a half ago the ones on the Zoa are from a few days ago.

It has already gotten 3 more rows or tenticals from when I picked it up and the Topps have been getting bubbled up during the last month while it's been growing. I'm not sure if you think I need more flow, or if it's just still trying to find it's happy spot haha.. I have an AI prime 16HD for the light also.

Tank has parameters within line of recommendation..

1.025 salinity
0 nitrate/nitrite
8 PH
0 Phosphate
410 calcium
10.1 DKH
1440 ppm magnesium

If the nem hasn’t settled in 2 months then I would re home it. Seems like your tank isnt ready for a anemone

As I said the first month it stayed on the glass and moved about the first week alot and stayed put after the first week, then overnight it moved onto the Zoa and stayed there for about a month, and yesterday it's been moving about it's gone back to the Zoa a few times but still moves about I'm not too concerned at the moment since it has not been moving about to much. It seems to go from the Zoa towards the top of the tank to 2 rocks at the bottom where it sets in the crevice.

Even though i didnt get much of a response i figured i would post this update. This Anemone when i was talking to the LFS after posting this, the owner stated it came out of a managed tank they had and it apparently likes to move around in every tank they have tried it in. When i was paying attention to the anemone it was going between 2 spots, a spot on the glass under the powerhead and the spot i wanted it to be where it would wedge itself between 2 rocks (where it is currently at) and my one clown has decided to host it so it has been staying put in that spot, unfortunately its not in a great spot to get a picture of it at the moment however it seems to be happy and hosting the clown well at this time and my clown has been loving it and diving in and out as if playing.

I've had Anemones that like to walk all over and some of that never moves. They're all different.

I will say though I usually did not have luck with the ones that moved all the time
