My new flame bubble tip anemone is hiding in the back on my tank hanging on a shelf rock. And not getting good lighting and a little close.
And my question is should I move it my self or is it gonna move itself??
I can't take a pic of it cause it's on the back.
 
I wouldn't move it because he will just go back to where he wants again. He will hide for maybe a couple weeks until he decides it's time to come out and he feels comfortable. If you don't have your lights on an acclimation schedule I would make sure to do that.
 
You could try aiming a power head in it direction to help change it mind. Just make sure it's not to strong of flow. Just enough to help it along.

This may work but i reccomend keeping flow as normal because if you put flow on it it will move and when you go back to norm it could make it move again.


This hiding is normal,kind of a self acclimation to the light... give it a week or two and he should find a nice home abd reach for lights
