I purchased a large rbta Friday and since I've acclimated him (drip method over an hour) he's been moving around to find a spot he likes it came home yesterday to find him stuck in my p.h. I turned it off before it seemed it could do any damage and let him back out he attached to rock in a crevice right now but he look a little weak and I also woke up to see my bta detached itself from my rock I checked my parameters and thy read ph 8.2 calcium 420 alkalinity 8 ammonia 0 phosphate 0 nitrates 0 nitrite 0 sal 1.025 my tank has been up for over a year and half and my lights are current orbit led (which my lfs store said would do them just fine) what other elements do I need to monitor for my anemone? should I invest in more lighting? I've seen them looking fine under their leds will someone please help me on what I might be doing wrong.
 
There are a few questions here in regards to the lighting and flow and rockscape.
A picture will also help see potential problems.
Does it have any shaded areas with a lower flow to go?
 
Yes he went to the lower flow shaded area he is there now hanging around
