I bought 2 today. One barelt moved an inch. But the other red one i got moving through the whole tank. My tank its 37 gallons and i have other corals. Its just my main concern would i wake up to my corals dead would they walk on them stinging them or glue theirself on them?

If moving - may be too much water flow or light. Best introduction is to temporarily shut off pumps and allow them to set their foot and resume water flow at reduced rate and ramp back to normal rate
 
Rock flower anemones don't have very strong stings. They can annoy corals, but aren't likely to kill anything. It is possible they'll stick right next to something, though, which can wind up being harmful. If that happens, put a shell or such on top of it, covering it, and it should move away.

IF you can peel it up without difficulty (i.e. off the glass), you can try gently setting its foot into a crevice where a rock meets the sand. It may decide to stay there.

Turning everything off to let it settle is a good idea.
