Long Tentacle Anemone

My Anemone was in the sand with his foot in the sand bed. Now he moved from that spot into a little over hang cave like and attached himself. Should I just leave him there? Do I have to worry about feeding him or he will just do his thing along with getting food and light? He closed up for the pick but was wide open a few minutes prior to the pic.

Mine just did almost the same thing. The cinnamon clown had it pushed under the rockwork so just the collar and disk would stick out. It was there for 2 month. Yesterday it retracted deeper into the rocks almost like the ceiling of a cave. Weird creatures... nothing changed as far as lighting or water movement. I did notice that half of it that got the most light started browning up with zooxanthellae recently. It has always acted like it was hiding from the light. I thought LTA likes a lot of light? I a little puzzled too. Sorry I don't have any answers. I just thought I would share my experience.

Before and after it moved. I'm puzzled too
