I would give it a chance to attach/foot. You have to be very careful though a moving anemone can make it's way into power heads, over flows and heaters and other tank residents. If you have to, create a depression in the sand in an area of low flow and place the anemone there, you can put a strawberry basket over the anemone, you can can also take large diamter PVC pipe cut into a short piece and place the base of the anemone in that. Good Luck

Anemones move around. It should find a place that it likes and attach itself.
I have had them move all over the tank till it found it's sweet spot (and it's usually not where I want them). I would make sure that if you have power heads or pumps in the tank that you cover up the intakes with a sponger or pre-filter until it finds its happy place.
