My first anemone... questions.

If the tips were out then your anemone sounds fine to me. Just watch to make sure it doesn’t float off and give it plenty of substrate to move around and settle into.

Right now it looks like it's digging into the substrate he's sitting on his foot and there is sand that it has pushed up around the base so it looks like he is digging in to attach to the glass.

Haha god that’s awesome
Was he attached to the glass at the lfs?
 
Or I can just take it off the rock I'm sure that's possible i.mean if I tick It off enough I'm sure it will let go

That is great! Let him be and he will be happy. I was never able to get me Long Tentacle to attach. No matter how hard I tried. My BTA’s are doing great though!

I'm hoping he just stay upright so i can get my clowns to host.. I bought him so my clowns didn't have to sleep on the sand anymore.
 
I 've had luck getting them to latch on...at least temporarily...where I kind of wanted by taking small chunks of my lr and making a little barrier to keep him in the area

I placed him on the rocks and kinda surrounded him in over night he got moody and moved so since he seems to like where he is now im gonna leave him and I work at 9 so once the lights go out he'll have from 2am till 9pm till I get home a check on him
 
Worked for this guy the other day

Yeah I guess long tipped anemones don't like attaching to rock they like being in substrate so.
Well mine would go between the sand and rock but your right these are not rock dwelling anemones that’s more the rbta style. I’ve learned that if your anemone will cling to the rock first it won’t blow away when it moves itself to the sand bed
 
Small update... so far I checked on him this morning and he hasn't moved so well check again tonight and see how it's doing.
 
Well this is my update for tonight I'm kinda concerned about this update though.. his mouth is open and I noticed a couple testicles flattened.
