Hey guys! So I recently got an anemone. It’s been since Tuesday I think and it seems to have found a spot but when the lights are on it hides down and at night when they are off it comes out. Should I move it to a shadier spot when the lights are on or should I let it do that itself?

I would let the nem go where it is the happiest (but beware of power heads)
Did you dim your lights at all.. sometimes it takes a bit for the Nim to adjust to the lights since you are running different parts then the LFS is.

Let it do its thing. The more you move it, the more stressed it will be and less likely to acclimate well. Ive had a BTA hide under a piece of shelf rock for the better part of a week or more before coming out and settling into a spot. It looked a bit pale but colored up nicely after a few weeks once it settled.
