I know that when first placing an anemone that you just let it do its thing and find its home. I added 2 at once came from a tank break down. One I added found it’s home pretty fast and only really moved from one rock to another. The other one, jumped from the rock it was on and has been under this rock for the last 6 days.
When do I intervene? It’s a pretty dark spot so it is hard to see but looks healthy still. I don’t mind leaving him there but I am new to anemones and am wondering what the best course of action is.

Caught it moving today as I was walking past the tank. It has done a complete circle of the tank now. Can’t get the video I took to attach. Very cool to see it move it’s self to control the flow and make it lift and fall
 
It went back under the rock it has been under for almost 2 weeks. Time to get worried?
 
If it’s traveled that much it really doesn’t like your tank. Wether it be the lighting the flow or maturity of tank. From pictures I would guess maturity of tank as the rock looks pretty white and not covered with any type of algae. Keep parameters as stable as possible and it may be alright but if it goes downhill it will happen pretty fast then you will need to act.
