I got my tank used, the previous owner had them for 3 year, I had for a couple of months now, but never sen it float around.... it was previously on the sand. Is it being playful or sick, is it trying to go back to the rock?

I can’t see anything, but if it’s floating around and not attached, that’s a problem.

It must stick. Stop flow for an hour or so an putnhis foot next to a rock.

If it starts to fall apart, discard immediately.
 
That looks like one very sick nem. Put it in a shady area with very low flow and watch it close, hopefully it pulls through, but it may not.
 
I stopped flow. It seems to be changing shape, bubbles at the tips deflated

Followed @Uncle99 tip, stopped flow and put on the rock.

Lights are out since 20 min ago. Tips are not very colorful compared to the other 2, and starting to deflate a bit.

Tank looks kind of new. Usually this isn't the right environment for an Anemone. GL
