why is my green rbta not attaching to surfaces

[bryan:))]

Just bought a green rbta from my lfs, did lots of research before buying one.
The RBTA was from a recent shipment, arrived on the day upon purchase. Looked healthy and sticked to the rocks like usual.
After temperature and drip acclimating, i put it in a small crevice in my tank.( i doubt it stuck in that crevice)

After 2 hours or so i saw the RBTA left in a corner of my tank, when i attempted to stick it back in that crevice it just flew away. Any thoughts on what happened?

Bubble tip anemones take a while to get settled. Mine took overnight to find its happy place. I recommend turning down the flow and giving it some time. Make sure your clown fish is not harassing it too much. If it’s still floating around tomorrow morning, then you might want to reevaluate your approach.

It's not happy. Your alk seems a little high but shuoldn't be an issue. I'd just leave it alone and let it figure out where it wants to go.

It's not happy, it should attach so one of your parameters is off.
