Leave it or interfere?

I've had a green bubble tip anemone in my tank now for two months. He's probably doubled in size and appears to be doing great. I placed him where I hoped he would stay and so he promptly moved and hid for a week. Then I moved him because he was getting no light. And, he hid again so I figured the light to be too high. I've since turned the lights down and that seems the right move. He's now stretching out of the rock for light. This is where he chose to move to but he has to stretch a good 4 - 5 inches up to get his crown into the light. My question is, should I leave him be or move him again?

I would not move him. the risk of injury is way too high, and tbh its pointless to attempt to place an anemone since it will move to where it wants anyway.

That's what I figured, but just wanted to make sure it wasn't stressful on it being stretched out like that. Thanks!

no problem.
I currently have a BTA that was in the same position for months stretched like that before deciding to randomly move to the back wall of the tank, not the ideal spot for me visually but its happy.

Nah they love to move when they are where you want them. Put a new acro or nice coral where you would like him, he will snuggle up to it in no time.
