Hey guys. My long tentacle anemone that I purchased a few days ago fell off the rock I put him on and I tried to replace him but he just won't stay. He is now at the bottom of a rock in the sand. Should I just leave him and let him do his thing or try to move him again.
Thanks

Just try to leave them alone unless the get stuck in a dangerous spot, like a filter overflow. They will keep moving until they are happy and the more you move it the longer it will take to settle in my experience with mine

LTA's are sand dwellars, not rock. They need at least a few inches of sandbed.

I can't comment on LTA, but that doesn't look like a couple inches of sand, barely even 1 inch to be honest.

I have a LTA in a bare bottom tank for over a year now(search my threads for pictures). It has a container of gravel to live in that it moves into now and then,but it spends more time out than in.
