Why do rock flower anemones always try to kill themselves???

Old tank, RFA tried to wedge through the guard to blenderize itself.

New tank, today, RFA less than 2 hours old trying to wedge itself through the guard.

What the heck. Pretty sure it lost a few fingers but the rest is intact. I turned off the pump and waiting for it to move away. Fully extended now. But still sitting on the pump.

I think it’s the flow they’re looking for. Also could be the exact spot it wanted to be in lol.
 
I have found they like a ton of light, at least mine did, so they might be trying to get closer. Most mine settled in spots 300 par and up!

We’ll, first few hours I deliberately turned off the light. Btw, I put in 3 today and the other two are totally normal having attached to the rock below.
