I have a 32 gal coralife biocube. This was a previously established tank that was gifted to me. We have a live rock cave, black sand, and lots of hopes and dreams.
Currently we have a pair of clowns (forgive me I have no idea what kind), a little yellow goby, and a chocolate chip starfish.
Got a few LPS corals and a beautiful nem snagged from the closing LFS.
Lots of plans to grown and expanded my tank from here.

Biocubes are fun tanks, you can do a lot with them. Your anemone is a Long Tentacle (Macrodactylus doreensis) which generally prefer to be at the bottom of the tank with their foot partially buried in the rock and sand. It will probably move on its own but you may want to move it yourself so it's not crawling on your corals and stinging them.

Here are some pics of mine to show you how they prefer to be:

I would try tucking it in where I circled, it has some good rock to grab and looks like a nice clear area for light. The coral I marked with an X may need to move as it could end up in range of the anemone's tentacles if the nem settle down there.

I have to giggle a bit here. Looks like my nem agrees that is a great spot because when I came check on moving it, that’s exactly where it put it self!! The hammer you xd out is actually a bit away from it, I’ll keep an eye on it though. It did jump down right ontop of my poor little acan( I think that’s what it is) so I had to move it real quick

looks great
Sleeping giant indeed. My BTA in my 32 chose its spot immediately and has not moved. It has really grown though, so I am limited in places to place corals safely. Looking to maybe move/rearrange some rock to make safe spots. Any ideas are welcome. I want to only add soft corals. I currently have a young pair of Ocellaris clowns, a Lawnmower blenny, two Banggai cardinalfish, and one Blue Sapphire Damselfish.

Tropical Fishbowl in Lafayette Louisiana. Saddly I do believe today was their last day open. Not sure if they were able to get rid of all of their displays, I saw a post with reduced pricing late this afternoon.
