Hello!!

I’m new to saltwater tanks and I decided to get a LTA for my pair of clowns I’ve had for a while.
I’ve never dealt with nem’s before, so I want to make sure I’m doing everything correctly. I even added some more rocks for it to attach to or hide behind.
Here’s it a few minutes ago, earlier today it was attached into my substrate just fine, but I just checked on it and it was unattached in its side.
I know they like to move around the tank but I just want to make sure it’s just trying to move and or reattach and nothing more serious is going on.
I added it in roughly 3 days ago. Thursday at 3 PM after drip acclimating it for an hour and a half.
It was more purpleish in the store, so I know it’s stressed but it hasn’t been loosing any of its color.

My cleaner shrimp have been picking at it from what I’ve seen so I’ve put them in a breeder box temporarily to try to avoid anymore stress for the nem.
