Hello everybody.
2 weeks ago I bought an anemone, and I placed its foot in a hole on the top of my rockwork. It attached almost immediately but it slowly began to move, and after 3 days placed its foot at this place, and it stayed there. How can or should I move it from there? It's a large anemone and its body is streching quite a bit, and the lower tentacles are not getting enough light and they are no tas elongated as the top ones.

Why do you want to move it? It chose that spot for a reason and it looks nice and healthy to me.

FWIW, getting an anemone to move or or stay where you want it is only slightly less difficult than herding cats. If you figure out how to do it please tell me! :D

Your anemone is a BTA which like fairy low flow and light as compare to other anemone species. They like to attach to crevices or holes on the side or under rock and reach up for light. This describe the position it is at perfectly. I would leave it a lone.
