Rockflower Anemone moving around

[iamahab]

I have a year old evo 13.5. I've had the rockflower anemone for two months now. I had it in a small plastic container in the tank and have since moved it out onto the sand bed. I would like to move it onto a rock but I'm afraid i'll damage it's foot if I try to move it manually. It's currently trying to move to the front of the tank.I can see its foot on the front panel. Is there a way to do this without hurting the anemone? Has anyone dealt with this?

You can move them by hand if not attached to a rock or just let it do its own thing too.

Maybe do an R2R “search”. I remember seeing some good tips on this in the past. Best wishes!

for nems its best to let them do their own thing imo

Thanks guys. I'm going to let it do what it wants. If it is stressed can it nuke my tank?

Mine don’t like a lot of flow and prefer rock cracks. You can remove that easily. Just be patient when removing and when placing turn off all flow for about 2 hours and slowly ramp it up. Turn on return pump filter then 20 minutes later WM. This has seemed to work for me. But in the end they still may walk around to find what they like. I bought 3 on Saturday and two stayed put the third was a pain.
